Characterization

What it is, stated plainly.

What it is

A 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene — one of a small set of peptides transcribed from mitochondrial rather than nuclear DNA. Published mechanism work concerns AMPK signalling and the peptide's translocation to the nucleus under metabolic stress. It sits in the mitochondrial-signalling literature.

How a lot is verified

Identity confirmed by HPLC and mass-spec; purity assayed by third-party HPLC, with a certificate of analysis published where tested. A lot that misses spec is rejected.

Handling & storage

Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store at −20°C, desiccated and protected from light. Handled per the receiving laboratory's protocols. Not for human consumption.

Questions

Answered straight.

What is MOTS-c?

MOTS-c is a 16–amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. Ouralus supplies it as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research use only, with a third-party HPLC certificate of analysis published where tested.

What is the sequence of MOTS-c?

The reported 16-residue sequence is MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR (Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg), molecular formula C101H152N28O22S2 (PubChem CID 146675088, CAS 1627580-64-6).

Who can order?

These materials are supplied strictly for laboratory and research use, to purchasers of legal age. They are not supplements, drugs, or foods, and are not for human or animal consumption.

Is MOTS-c legal to buy?

MOTS-c is supplied strictly as a research chemical for laboratory research use only — it is not a drug, supplement, or food, and not for human or animal consumption. It ships to purchasers of legal age for research use. Buyers are responsible for compliance with the laws that apply to research materials in their own jurisdiction.

Is a certificate of analysis provided with MOTS-c?

Yes — each tested lot of MOTS-c ships with a third-party HPLC certificate of analysis from Janoshik, independently verifiable by lot (verify key X9QFDRJ85UYG). The current lot assayed 99.274%. We publish the certificate before making any purity claim; this is a research chemical for laboratory use only.
