About this compound
Is this specific batch tested?
Yes the certificate above is for the exact lot currently shipping, matched by batch number. You can verify it independently using the lookup tool or the QR code on the vial.
How should I store this?
Keep the lyophilized vial in a freezer, away from light, until you’re ready to use it. Once reconstituted, store refrigerated and reference the COA for batch-specific stability notes.
How do I reconstitute this for my protocol?
Add your diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial, then swirl gently until dissolved — avoid shaking. Exact diluent volume depends on your protocol and the strength you ordered (5mg, 10mg, or 15mg).
How fast will it ship?
Same-day dispatch if ordered before the daily cutoff, 2–3 days tracked delivery from our domestic warehouses in the US, EU, or Australia.
What if I am not satisfied?
98%+ purity guaranteed or refunded. Send us an independent test result and we’ll make it right.
What Is MOTS-C?
Most peptides in the laboratory are derived from proteins encoded in the nucleus. MOTS-C is different. It is encoded in a short open reading frame within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, and it was described in the mid-2010s as part of a class now called mitochondrial-derived peptides.
In cell-culture and animal-model studies, MOTS-C has been examined for its role in AMPK-mediated metabolic regulation, folate and methionine cycle signalling, and the cellular stress response. That mitochondria-to-nucleus signalling makes it a common reference compound in metabolism and lifespan research. Nation Peptides supplies it strictly for in vitro and laboratory work and makes no medical or therapeutic claims about it.

What the Batch COA Covers
- Purity by HPLC. The listed verified purity is 99%, and the exact result for each lot appears on its certificate.
- Identity. Nation Peptides validates each batch with HPLC and mass spectrometry.
- Sterility and endotoxin. Both are reported in the batch testing.
- Traceability. Each order is matched to a verified batch before packing. Confirm the lot with the batch lookup or the QR code on the vial.
MOTS-C in Metabolic and Signalling Research
MOTS-C is usually studied alongside other compounds that act on metabolic and endocrine signalling. Labs often place it in a panel with Tesamorelin 10mg, a growth hormone-releasing hormone analog, and Ipamorelin 10mg, a ghrelin receptor agonist. For cellular-stress and tissue models, researchers also use GHK-Cu 50mg and buy BPC 157.
MOTS-C ships as lyophilized powder. You can also buy bacteriostatic water in a 10ml vial and add it to the same order as a diluent.
