MOTS-c Peptide 10mg
Product Description
MOTS-c Peptide 10mg for Mitochondrial Research
Our MOTS-c peptide 10mg is a mitochondrial-derived peptide for laboratory research into energy metabolism, cellular stress and aging. Each vial is supplied at 99.51% purity, identity-confirmed by mass spectrometry, with a third-party lab report you can verify yourself.
What is MOTS-c Peptide?
MOTS-c is a short peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondria are the parts of a cell that produce energy, which is why they are often called the cell's "power plants."
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Most known peptides are encoded by DNA in the cell nucleus. MOTS-c is different: it is encoded within the mitochondria's own small genome, making it one of only a handful of mitochondrial-derived peptides identified so far. Researchers first described it in 2015.
Its discovery gave scientists a new way to study mitochondria, not only as energy producers but as a source of signals to the rest of the cell. In research settings, MOTS-c levels have also been reported to vary with age and physical activity, which has made it a common subject in energy metabolism and aging research.

BATCH: LOT 003 · REPORT AA-2026-0069.0345
How Every Batch Is Tested
- Purity check (HPLC): separates the sample into its parts, so anything unwanted can be measured.
- Identity check (mass spectrometry): weighs the molecule to confirm it really is MOTS-c.
- Handling tip: let the vial reach room temperature before opening, and always use clean, sterile lab practices.
MOTS-c Peptide FAQ
Common questions about our MOTS-c peptide 10mg, its lab testing, shipping and storage.
Can I verify the lab report myself?
Yes. Open the COA above and scan its QR code to confirm the results directly with the testing lab. Also check that the batch number on your vial (Lot 003) matches the report.
How pure is this MOTS-c?
Every batch of our MOTS-c peptide 10mg must be at least 99% pure by HPLC. The current batch tested at 99.51%, and mass spectrometry confirmed it is MOTS-c.
How do I reconstitute MOTS-c for research?
Researchers typically use bacteriostatic water as the diluent. Use our Concentration Calculator to work out concentrations, and see our MOTS-c reconstitution guide.
Is MOTS-c approved for human use?
No. MOTS-c is not approved by the FDA for any use in people. This product is sold for laboratory research only.
Where does it ship from?
All orders ship from Phoenix, Arizona, USA. More answers are on our FAQ page.
How should I store it when it arrives?
Put the vial in the freezer at -20°C, away from light. Once mixed with liquid, keep it in the fridge at 2–8°C and follow your lab protocol for how long to use it.
