Research reference material
MOTS-c
A 16-residue mitochondrial-derived peptide, supplied lyophilised in a 40 mg fill against a published HPLC certificate.
What it is
MOTS-c is a sixteen-residue peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome, sequence Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg.
The 40 mg fill is the one we stock and the one the certificate covers. No report exists for a 10 mg fill, so none is listed.
The certificate
Every lot we list is held against an independent report, published as it was issued. This fill assayed at 99.349% by HPLC.

Storage and handling
Supplied lyophilised and sealed. Hold the unopened vial at −20 °C, away from light and moisture; brief transit at ambient temperature does not affect lyophilised material. Once reconstituted, keep it refrigerated, avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, and treat it as you would any other short-dated laboratory reagent.
Bacteriostatic water for reconstitution is listed separately as a laboratory consumable. Work from the figures on the certificate and your own standard practice when preparing solutions — we publish the assay, not a protocol.
