Overview
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by a short open reading frame within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It belongs to the group of mitochondrial-derived peptides.
Research context
MOTS-c is studied as a mitochondrial signal that can act beyond the mitochondrion. Preclinical research has examined its role in metabolic homeostasis, AMPK activation and cellular stress responses.

What arrives with the order
- One sealed 3 mL glass vial per unit ordered, containing 10 mg or 40 mg (select option) of lyophilized powder
- A label showing the compound name, quantity and lot number
- A lot-specific Certificate of Analysis, available on this page and in the COA library
Identity and chemistry information for laboratory research use only.
On arrival
- Inspect: Check that the seal is intact and that the lot number on the label matches the Certificate of Analysis.
- Store: Move the sealed vial to minus 20 °C as soon as it is received.
- Protect: Keep the vial dry and away from direct light.
Lyophilized storage
MOTS-C is supplied as 10 mg or 40 mg (select option) of lyophilized powder in a sealed 3 mL glass vial. Lyophilized peptide material tolerates short periods at ambient temperature in transit. For storage beyond that, keep the vial sealed at minus 20 °C, dry and protected from light.
Before opening
Let the sealed vial reach room temperature before opening, ideally in a desiccator, so that moisture does not condense on the powder. Open and handle the vial under clean laboratory conditions.
Stock solutions
Prepare stock solutions, expressed in mg/mL, according to your laboratory’s validated protocol and the solubility of the compound. Divide the solution into single-use aliquots and store them frozen, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Label each aliquot with the lot number and the date of preparation.
Disposal
Dispose of unused material and contaminated consumables as laboratory chemical waste, in line with applicable federal, state and local rules.
Laboratory storage and handling information only. No dosing or administration guidance is given or implied.
What purity specification does this lot meet?
Every lot of MOTS-C is tested for identity and purity by HPLC-MS before release. The measured purity for your lot is shown on its Certificate of Analysis, matched to the lot number printed on the vial label.
Where do I find the Certificate of Analysis for my vial?
Lot testing records appear on this product page. You can also search by compound name or lot number in the COA library.
Which vial sizes are available?
MOTS-C is available in 10 mg or 40 mg (select option) vials. Select the size before adding it to the cart. Each size has its own lot records and Certificate of Analysis.
What arrives with the order?
One sealed 3 mL glass vial per unit ordered, containing 10 mg or 40 mg (select option) of lyophilized MOTS-C. Each vial is labeled with the compound name, quantity and lot number, so it can be matched to its Certificate of Analysis.
How should the vial be stored when it arrives?
Move the sealed vial to minus 20 °C, dry and protected from light, as soon as it is received. The Storage and handling tab covers storage, opening, stock solutions and disposal.
