MOTS-C

MOTS-C is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, discovered in 2015. Its unique mitochondrial genomic origin has made it a subject of published preclinical literature. Manufactured to ≥99% purity with third-party verification.

MOTS-C is a 16-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, discovered in 2015. It has been referenced in published preclinical literature. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized research peptide.

MOTS-C was discovered in 2015 by Changhan David Lee and colleagues at the University of Southern California. It was identified as a novel peptide encoded by a short open reading frame within the 12S rRNA gene of mitochondrial DNA.

This peptide carries the True Research Certified designation, awarded exclusively to compounds that achieve verified ≥99% purity through independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis. True Research Certified products undergo batch-level endotoxin screening via the LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) method and are accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and endotoxin results. This certification reflects our commitment to supplying only the highest-grade research materials to the scientific community.
