Description

For Research Use Only. This product is supplied exclusively for laboratory research and is not intended for human or veterinary use.

MOTS-c Research Peptide

MOTS-c (mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c) is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide. ZENTRA supplies it as high-purity lyophilised research material in 10mg and 40mg formats for controlled laboratory and analytical applications.

Published research identifies the human MOTS-c sequence as MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR. The peptide is encoded within a short open reading frame in mitochondrial 12S rRNA and has been investigated in experimental models of cellular bioenergetics, metabolic signalling, stress adaptation and skeletal-muscle homeostasis.

Technical Specifications

Independent Batch Testing

Every current ZENTRA MOTS-c batch is independently tested and records an HPLC purity result above 99%. The batch number on the product label can be checked against the corresponding third-party report in our Batch Verification and COA Centre. Researchers should consult the individual report for the exact analytical methods, purity result and testing date for their supplied batch.

Storage and Handling

For long-term storage, keep unopened lyophilised material at approximately -20°C. For short-term laboratory storage, maintain at 2-8°C. Protect the vial from light, moisture and repeated temperature changes. Use appropriate laboratory handling procedures and consult your institutional protocol before preparing research solutions.

MOTS-c Research FAQs

What is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. It is studied as a signalling molecule involved in cellular energy and stress-response pathways.

What is the MOTS-c sequence and molecular weight?

The published human sequence is MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR. Its molecular weight is approximately 2174.6 g/mol.

Which MOTS-c sizes are available?

This product is available as 10mg and 40mg of lyophilised research material. Select the required format before adding it to the basket.

How is MOTS-c purity verified?

Every current batch is tested by an independent laboratory using HPLC and records a purity result above 99%. The matching report can be found using the batch number printed on the product label.

What research areas have examined MOTS-c?

Published studies have investigated mitochondrial signalling, cellular bioenergetics, AMPK-related pathways, metabolic-stress responses and skeletal-muscle homeostasis. Most evidence comes from cell and animal models; human evidence remains limited.

Is this product intended for human or veterinary use?
