MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. It is used as a reference compound in metabolic-signaling research.
As one of a small group of mitochondrial-derived peptides, MOTS-c is a tool compound for studying communication between mitochondria and the cell nucleus in preclinical models.
In cell and rodent models, MOTS-c has been investigated in the context of AMPK-pathway signaling, glucose-utilization research, and metabolic-stress adaptation. These observations are limited to laboratory and preclinical research settings and are not statements about outcomes in humans.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store lyophilized material at -20°C. Reconstitution with bacteriostatic or sterile water is common for laboratory handling; keep any reconstituted solution refrigerated and use it within the timeframe appropriate to the researcher’s protocol.
For synthetic research peptides, purity is determined by HPLC and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Independent third-party testing is expanding across the catalog, and each certificate of analysis is published on the product page it covers as results come back. Refer to that certificate for the testing laboratory, the methods run, and the measured values. Endotoxin and sterility testing are not performed unless explicitly stated.
