MOTS-c is a mitochondrial peptide discovered in 2015 by Pinchas Cohen's team at the University of Southern California. It is a relatively new, but intensively studied molecule – over 100 independent publications are dedicated to it in the PubMed database. It belongs to the group of mitochondrially encoded peptides, which opened up a new area of research in peptide signaling.
In academic literature, MOTS-c most often appears in the context of mitochondrial research and biochemical pathways as scientific disciplines – as a subject of investigation into communication between the mitochondrion and the cell nucleus. Scientific teams study it in cell models focused on peptide signaling.
In the laboratory, it is used as a reference analytical standard – for HPLC calibration, mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and comparative binding experiments. Cerebrotech supplies it as a lyophilized powder in a glass vial with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), with HPLC-verified purity ≥ 98%. A mass spectrum is available upon request for each batch.
A compatible solvent for reconstitution – bacteriostatic water – is available separately in our catalog. The product is intended exclusively for laboratory in-vitro research, biochemical analysis, and academic purposes. It is not a medicine, food supplement, or cosmetic product. It is not intended for human or animal consumption, application to the body surface, ingestion, or inhalation. Sale is restricted to age 18+ confirmation.
