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.

Verification

Supplied for laboratory research use. The third-party certificate of analysis for the 40 mg fill is pending, so no purity figure is claimed for it. The report will be published on this page once the lab returns it.

Handling & storage

Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store at −20°C, desiccated and protected from light. Handled per the receiving laboratory's procedures. 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 40 mg legal to buy?

MOTS-c 40 mg 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 40 mg?

Ouralus third-party HPLC-tests its catalogue lots and publishes the certificate of analysis per product as each report is finalized. A certificate is not posted for MOTS-c 40 mg yet, so no purity figure is claimed for it until one appears here. Supplied as a research chemical for laboratory use only.
