MOTS-c Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide for Research

Technical Overview

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that acts as a signaling molecule linking mitochondrial activity directly to cellular metabolism. It is studied for its role in regulating metabolism, cellular energy production and insulin sensitivity, and for its influence on how cells process glucose and fatty acids.

Research applications

  • Metabolic regulation: glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity.
  • Cellular energy: mitochondrial function and energy output.
  • Muscle research: muscle endurance, recovery and metabolic efficiency.
  • Aging research: cellular longevity and metabolic resilience.
  • Fat metabolism: how fatty acids are used and stored.

Under controlled laboratory conditions, scientists measure how MOTS-c influences glucose uptake and energy balance, which helps clarify the connection between mitochondria and overall metabolic health. It is also studied in models of obesity and metabolic syndrome, including how it regulates cellular energy during metabolic stress.

Storage & Intended Use

Storage Instructions

Handling and Storage Tips:

  • On arrival, store the sealed vial at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture.
  • For short-term storage (days to weeks), refrigeration at 2–8 °C is acceptable.
  • Lyophilized peptides tolerate room temperature for short periods, such as during shipping.
  • Let the vial reach room temperature before opening, to avoid condensation.
  • Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2–8 °C and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MOTS-c third-party tested?

Yes. Each lot is tested by Bioviridian, an independent HPLC-MS laboratory, for identity (mass spectrometry), purity (RP-HPLC), content and endotoxin, and the Certificate of Analysis is published for that lot.

Can I see the Certificate of Analysis before buying?

Yes. Download it from the Documents section above, or search the lot number in our COA library.

What does 'Research Use Only' mean?

Products are supplied only for laboratory research. They are not drugs, foods, supplements or cosmetics and are not for human or veterinary use.

How is it shipped and stored?

Cold-packed with tracking, same day on orders by 2 PM ET. Store lyophilized vials at −20 °C on arrival.
