MOTS-c is a synthetic 16-amino-acid peptide corresponding to a mitochondria-derived peptide sequence. It is supplied for controlled laboratory, biochemical, analytical, and scientific research.
Its defined linear sequence and molecular composition make it suitable for studies involving peptide characterization, molecular interactions, mitochondrial-associated biochemical systems, structure-function analysis, and comparative analytical research.
PubChem lists MOTS-c with CAS 1627580-64-6, molecular formula C₁₀₁H₁₅₂N₂₈O₂₂S₂, molecular weight approximately 2174.6 g/mol, and sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR.
Research Applications
MOTS-c may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:
- Peptide identity and characterization
- Mitochondrial peptide research
- Molecular signaling studies
- Structure-function analysis
- Biochemical pathway research
- Analytical peptide comparison
- Stability assessment
- Non-clinical biochemical and cellular models
Any experimental observations should remain limited to the applicable research system and should not be interpreted as evidence of metabolic benefit, exercise enhancement, weight-related outcomes, therapeutic effectiveness, or suitability for human use.

Analytical Identification
Relevant analytical characterization may include:
- Amino-acid sequence confirmation
- Molecular mass assessment
- Chromatographic purity testing
- Peptide identity verification
- Structural characterization
- Lot-specific quality testing
If the supplied material is present as an acetate, TFA, or another counter-ion form, the molecular specifications should be aligned with that exact preparation.
Specifications & Documentation
Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:
- Compound identity
- Amino-acid sequence
- Molecular formula
- Molecular weight
- Salt or counter-ion form
- Purity specification
- Analytical testing
- Lot or batch information
- Certificate of Analysis
- Storage requirements
Authenticated lot-specific documentation should take precedence over generalized reference values.
Storage & Handling
Store according to conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that could compromise peptide integrity.
Handling should follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for research materials.
