Questions, answered
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c (MOTS-c (Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide)) is a research peptide studied in research on metabolic-regulation research and cellular-longevity models. It is supplied strictly as a research material.
How is MOTS-c classified?
It is a research peptide, also known as MOTS-c and Mitochondrial-derived peptide.
How should MOTS-c be stored?
The documented condition is −20°C, desiccated, light-protected. Keep it cold, dry, desiccated, and light-protected; reconstituted material is refrigerated and shorter-lived.
What is MOTS-c used for in the lab?
MOTS-c is the standard solvent for reconstituting lyophilized research compounds; its preservative lets a prepared vial serve as a multi-sample stock.
How is the quality of MOTS-c verified?
It is documented at Reference only and third-party tested, with identity by LC-MS and purity by HPLC. A certificate of analysis is available for the batch.
Is MOTS-c for human use?
No. For research use only. Not for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use. It is not for human or animal consumption and carries no medical, therapeutic, or diagnostic use.
How does MOTS-c compare to NAD+?
They are distinct research compounds with different reported targets: MOTS-c with AMPK pathway (reported), NAD+ with sirtuin (SIRT) activity. See the MOTS-c vs NAD+ comparison for a neutral breakdown. Neither is presented as "better."
