MOTS-C 20mg

Description

This is MOTS-C 20mg, supplied by LA Peptides as 20mg of freeze-dried powder in a sealed vial. Every batch has its own certificate of analysis, and you can pull it up by scanning the QR code on the side of the label. It’s for laboratory research only.

What is MOTS-C?

MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid peptide (Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg) coded inside mitochondrial DNA, in the gene for 12S ribosomal RNA. Peptides coded by mitochondria were a surprise when they turned up, and MOTS-C is the best studied one.

Cells under metabolic stress send it to the nucleus, where it affects genes for energy use. It also activates AMPK, the cell’s main energy sensor.

What the research says

Changhan Lee’s lab at the University of Southern California described MOTS-C in 2015. In that first paper, mice given MOTS-C were protected from diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Later work tied it to exercise capacity in older mice.

Blood levels fall with age in humans. Clinical data is still very early.

Checking the batch COA

Every batch gets its own certificate of analysis, and the QR code on the MOTS-C 20mg label takes you straight to it. Look for the lot number, the test date and the purity figure. If the lot on the paperwork doesn’t match the lot on the vial, set the vial aside until it’s sorted out.

File the COA with the rest of your study notes. If results ever shift between batches, it’s the first thing you’ll want to check.

Which MOTS-C size is right for you?

We sell MOTS-C in three sizes. The bigger vials cost less per milligram, and the smaller ones mean less waste if you only need a little for a short study.

• MOTS-C 10mg: $69.99, about $7 per mg
• MOTS-C 20mg: $119.99, about $6 per mg (this page)
• MOTS-C 40mg: $199.99, about $5 per mg

Not sure? The MOTS-C 20mg vial sits in the middle on both price and amount. You can also look at MOTS-C 10mg and MOTS-C 40mg.

MOTS-C 20mg reconstitution and concentration

How much liquid you add decides the concentration. For a MOTS-C 20mg vial:

• 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 20mg/ml
• 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/ml
• 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives about 6.67mg/ml

Choose whichever volume makes the math simplest for your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the mixing date.

Storing and mixing

Unopened, the vial is happiest in a fridge at 2 to 8°C, or frozen for longer storage. Let it warm up to room temperature before you break the seal, so condensation doesn’t get in.

Most labs reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water. Add it slowly against the glass, then roll the vial between your fingers until it clears. Shaking can damage peptide chains, so skip that. Refrigerate the mixed solution and use it within about a month. A peptide case helps if vials travel between benches.
