About MOTS-c
MOTS-c in Canada is supplied by Horizon Peptides as a lyophilized powder in sealed research vials, stocked in 10 mg and 40 mg sizes with single-vial, 3-vial and 10-vial pack options. MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in metabolic signalling research.
MOTS-c is encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than in the cell nucleus, which sets it apart from essentially every other sequence in this catalogue. Its twelve residues run Met-Arg-Trp-Glu-Met-Glu-Val-Val-Arg-Ser-Gln-Arg, with a molecular weight of 2174.6.
Mitochondria carry their own small genome, a remnant of the bacterial ancestry of the organelle, and for a long time it was assumed to encode only components of the respiratory machinery. Peptides like MOTS-c showed that assumption was incomplete.
Research using it concerns metabolic and glucose-handling signalling, and more broadly the question of how many other short open reading frames in the mitochondrial genome remain uncharacterised.
Key research areas
- Mitochondrial-derived peptide research

Research background
MOTS-c is a 16-residue peptide whose coding sequence sits inside a mitochondrial gene for ribosomal RNA; Lee and colleagues described it in 2015. Most of the experimental work cited on this page comes from cultured cells and mice.

Testing and documents
Batch documents are published on the Lab Results page as they become available, searchable by product or batch.
What a certificate of analysis shows
-
Identity
Mass spectrometry checks the measured molecular mass against the expected one: is this the right molecule.
-
Purity
HPLC separates a sample and reports the target as a share of everything detected.
-
Batch
A certificate describes one batch. The batch on the document should match the one you are asking about.
-
Date and analyst
The document should say who carried out the analysis and when.
Not every batch has a published document. Where one exists, it is listed; this page says nothing about results.
Shipping and handling
-
Dispatch
Orders placed before 2:00 PM ET, Monday to Friday, typically ship the same business day.
-
Shipping
Express shipping is free on orders over $300 before tax. Other options and their prices are shown at checkout.
-
Delivery
We ship to addresses within Canada. A tracking link is emailed when the order ships.

Storage
Keep lyophilized material sealed, dry and away from light, in a cool place or refrigerated. Let a cold vial reach room temperature before opening so moisture does not condense inside it.
Questions
What makes MOTS-c unusual?
