MOTS-c (10mg)
MOTS-c is a sixteen-residue mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. It is one of a small number of peptides transcribed from mitochondrial rather than nuclear DNA, and it translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress.

About MOTS-c (10mg)
Its nuclear translocation under metabolic stress is the interesting part experimentally: localisation, not just concentration, is the readout.
Like everything in the Peptides range, this vial is lyophilized, sealed, and accompanied by third-party purity documentation for its batch.

Handling, reconstitution and storage
Store the sealed vial of lyophilized MOTS-c at -20°C, protected from light. Allow it to reach room temperature before opening so that moisture does not condense onto the powder.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed down the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and swirl instead of shaking — mechanical agitation is the most common cause of degradation in peptide handling. Keep reconstituted solution at 2-8°C and validate its working life for your own assay conditions.
Frequently asked questions
- How is MOTS-c (10mg) supplied and stored?
- It ships as a lyophilized powder in a sealed vial. Store the lyophilized product at -20°C protected from light; once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2-8°C and use it within the window your protocol validates.
- Is a certificate of analysis available?
- Yes. Every batch is independently tested by a US laboratory and verified to exceed 99% purity by HPLC/MS. Request the COA for your batch number and we will send the report.
- How long does delivery take?
- Orders dispatch within two business days. Delivery is free within the USA on orders over $200.
- Can MOTS-c (10mg) be used in humans or animals?
- No. This product is sold strictly for research, laboratory and analytical purposes. Human and animal consumption is prohibited.
