MOTS-c research product
The MOTS-c research product is available in New Zealand for laboratory study.
MOTS-c, short for Mitochondrial Open Reading Frame of the 12S rRNA-c, is a peptide encoded not in nuclear DNA, but in mitochondrial DNA. This makes it part of a unique class of peptides called mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) — small proteins that act as signaling molecules to regulate metabolism and cellular stress responses.
First described in 2015, MOTS-c was discovered to circulate in the bloodstream and influence key metabolic pathways, particularly those tied to energy balance and glucose control. Unlike most hormones and peptides synthesized in the nucleus, MOTS-c originates directly from the mitochondria, reinforcing its role as a metabolic regulator.
About this research peptide
Every peptide in our catalogue is supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder in a sealed vial, accompanied by a batch number for full traceability. Before release, each batch is analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to confirm ≥99% purity and by mass spectrometry (MS) to verify sequence identity. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is available on request.
For laboratory use, reconstitute the lyophilised peptide using bacteriostatic water or the solvent specified by your research protocol. Store lyophilised vials at −20°C, protected from light and moisture, and keep reconstituted solutions refrigerated at 2–8°C. Always follow your institution’s laboratory safety procedures and handle these compounds in accordance with all applicable New Zealand regulations.
These products are supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research purposes only. They are not medicines or dietary supplements, are not for human or veterinary use, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
