MOTS-cResearch-Grade Peptide · Lab-Verified Purity
MOTS-c is a fascinating research peptide — it's one of the few known peptides encoded not in your regular DNA but in mitochondrial DNA. That mitochondrial origin is why it's the most-studied research compound for cellular energy production and metabolic health.
Everything researchers need to know about MOTS-c
Manufacturing, testing, handling, and shipping details for MOTS-c. For research purposes only — not for human or animal consumption.
MOTS-c — Product Overview
MOTS-c is a fascinating research peptide — it's one of the few known peptides encoded not in your regular DNA but in mitochondrial DNA. That mitochondrial origin is why it's the most-studied research compound for cellular energy production and metabolic health.
MOTS-c — Molecular Characteristics & Vial Specifications
ProSource Labs supplies MOTS-c in the following available vial sizes: 10mg, 40mg. Each MOTS-c vial contains pure lyophilized peptide — no fillers, no bulking agents. Product SKU references: MOT-5MV, MOT-40MV.
- Mitochondrial Origin: One of the only known peptides encoded in mitochondrial DNA
- Energy Production: Central to studies on cellular ATP and metabolic capacity
- Insulin Sensitivity: Research work shows improved glucose handling
- Small & Fast: Just 16 amino acids — moves quickly through the body
Batches are characterized by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm molecular weight against the theoretical value, with amino-acid sequence confirmation on selected QA lots. Peptide content assay distinguishes net peptide mass from residual counter-ion salt.
MOTS-c — Laboratory Handling & Storage
Lyophilized MOTS-c vials should be stored at -20°C (or colder) in a laboratory freezer, inside the sealed factory container. Minimize warm-up cycles — move only the specific vial needed for a given experiment out of frozen storage at a time.
All laboratory handling of MOTS-c should follow the receiving institution's SOPs and applicable peer-reviewed protocols relevant to the researcher's specific experimental question. ProSource Labs does not publish end-user preparation or usage instructions.
MOTS-c — Third-Party Analytical Testing
Every batch of MOTS-c released by ProSource Labs undergoes independent reverse-phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) — the industry-standard analytical method for this class of research compound. Target chromatographic purity is typically ≥ 99%.
Additional characterization may include ESI mass spectrometry for molecular weight confirmation, Karl Fischer titration for residual moisture, and appearance/solubility inspection. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available on request through customer support after purchase.
MOTS-c — Quality Assurance Process
Each production lot of MOTS-c is quarantined pending analytical release, tested against documented purity, identity, and moisture acceptance criteria, and only released to sellable inventory after passing every QA checkpoint. Batches that fail any single criterion are quarantined and never reach customer-facing inventory.
If a vial of MOTS-c you received from ProSource Labs ever fails your own institution's incoming QA testing, contact customer support at support@prosourcelabs.org — we retain samples of every batch for cross-verification.
MOTS-c — Typical Research Application
Widely used in studies on mitochondrial function, cellular energy (ATP) production, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health. A newer entry to the peptide-research world with a rapidly growing literature.
MOTS-c — Packaging & Fast Southern California Shipping
MOTS-c vials ship in tamper-evident, moisture-resistant, cold-chain-friendly outer packaging from our Southern California distribution facility for fast US domestic delivery — typically 2-4 business days coast-to-coast, with expedited options available at checkout.
Every MOTS-c shipment is discreet — the outer packaging carries no product-specific branding or direct reference to the compound name inside, protecting researcher privacy. Tracking numbers are emailed automatically. For institutional or high-volume orders, dedicated wholesale pricing is available through the wholesale portal.
