MOTS-C
MOTS‑C is a synthetic mitochondrial‑derived peptide composed of 16 amino acids, originally identified as a product of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region and recognized for its unique origin outside the nuclear genome. Structurally defined and highly conserved, MOTS‑C is classified as a mitochondrial signaling peptide (mitokine) and is widely referenced in scientific literature for peptide structure–function analysis, metabolic pathway research, and mitochondrial signaling studies.
Researchers value MOTS-C for its role in regulating metabolic homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and exercise-induced adaptations in laboratory models. Its 16-amino-acid sequence makes it an ideal tool for investigating mitochondrial–nuclear communication and age-related metabolic decline.
Ceritide Research offers MOTS-C as a premium 10mg lyophilized research peptide with verified ≥99% purity confirmed by independent HPLC and mass spectrometry. Supplied in a sterile vial and ready for immediate reconstitution per your protocol, this product delivers the reliability top research labs demand.

Peptide Storage Guidelines: Best Practices for Research Stability
At Ceritide Research, we provide high-purity peptides for laboratory and scientific research. Proper storage preserves peptide integrity and supports reliable experimental results.
Storage Guidelines for Lyophilized (Powder) Peptides
- Long-Term Storage: Keep at -20°C (-4°F) or lower (ideally -80°C / -112°F) for multi-year stability.
- Short-Term Storage: Refrigerate at 2–8°C (36–46°F) for weeks to a few months. Minimize room temperature exposure.
- Best Practices: Store in airtight vials with desiccants. Allow vials to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening. Protect from light and moisture. Aliquot to reduce freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage Guidelines for Reconstituted Peptide Solutions
Once dissolved, peptides are less stable and should be used promptly:
- Recommended Temperature: Store at 2–8°C (36–46°F) (refrigerator) for short-term use, typically up to 1–4 weeks depending on the sequence and buffer.
- Longer-Term Solution Storage: Aliquot and freeze at -20°C (-4°F) or lower. Avoid storing solutions long-term when possible.
- Best Practices: Use sterile techniques, bacteriostatic water or research-grade buffers, and minimize exposure to air and light. Prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
