Also known as Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c
A mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in metabolic and mitochondrial-signaling research, including AMPK-related pathways. Supplied as a documented reference standard.
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. In research models it is studied as a signaling molecule linked to cellular energy sensing, including AMPK-related metabolic pathways.
It is a 16-residue peptide (sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR) with a molecular weight of ~2,174.6 g/mol — a mid-length peptide amenable to standard synthesis and analysis.
See the mitochondrial-derived peptide signaling overview. MOTS-c is studied in metabolic-signaling research and shares pathway interest with mitochondria-targeted references such as elamipretide and the cofactor NAD+.
Supplied lyophilised; follow the standard cold, dry storage profile and aliquot to manage freeze-thaw once reconstituted.
Identity and purity are documented by mass spectrometry and HPLC, per lot.
All references describe in-vitro and pre-clinical research only. MOTS-c is supplied as a research-use-only reference standard, not for human or veterinary use.
Store lyophilised at -20 °C; reconstituted material at 2–8 °C within the analytical window.
Reconstituted purity tracked by HPLC over the storage window.
