What is MOTS-c in a research context?

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in published research for its interactions with metabolic and mitochondrial signaling pathways. Nexara Labs USA supplies MOTS-c strictly for laboratory research; it is not for human consumption, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of any disease.

What third-party testing is performed?

Every batch is independently tested using HPLC for purity, mass spectrometry for identity, and LAL assay for endotoxin contamination at an ISO-certified laboratory.

What are the storage requirements for MOTS-c?

Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C for long-term storage. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within the shelf life listed in the Storage Requirements section. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

What is the molecular profile of MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is a 16-residue peptide (M-R-W-Q-E-M-G-Y-I-F-Y-P-R-K-L-R) derived from the mitochondrial 12S rRNA. The molecular formula and molecular weight are listed in the Molecular Profile section on this page.

How is MOTS-c shipped?

Orders ship from Texas via USPS after payment confirmation. The shipment contains the lyophilized vial; bacteriostatic water is sold separately. A batch-matched COA is available on request at nate@nexaralabsusa.com.

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA and studied for its involvement in cellular signaling pathways associated with mitochondrial communication systems. Laboratory research explores how mitochondrial peptides participate in intracellular communication processes between mitochondria and nuclear signaling networks. Experimental studies examine cellular response pathways and regulatory mechanisms related to mitochondrial-derived signaling molecules. MOTS-c continues to be studied in experimental models focused on mitochondrial signaling biology and peptide-mediated cellular communication systems.
