Frequently Asked Questions
What is MOTS-C peptide?
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide, encoded within mitochondrial DNA, studied for its role in mitochondrial-nuclear retrograde signalling and metabolic regulation research.
What purity is Peptalix Labs MOTS-C 40mg?
Independently tested at 99.51% (Full QC Panel — HPLC) purity by ILS Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited). Net peptide content 41.82 mg per vial, Lot 127-02-DK.
What is the ‘Methionine’ peak shown on some MOTS-C chromatograms?
MOTS-C’s sequence includes an N-terminal methionine residue, which can appear as a small separate peak on HPLC chromatograms alongside the main MOTS-C peak, consistent with expected peptide structure.
How is MOTS-C peptide stored?
Supplied as lyophilised powder. Store the sealed vial at -20C prior to reconstitution. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2-8C and use within 28 days.
How do I reconstitute MOTS-C 40mg?
Draw the desired volume of sterile bacteriostatic water into a fresh syringe and inject slowly down the inner wall of the vial. Gently swirl until fully dissolved. Never shake.
What research has been published on MOTS-C?
MOTS-C has been studied for its role in mitochondrial-nuclear retrograde signalling, AMPK pathway activation, and metabolic homeostasis research, as a mitochondrial-encoded peptide distinct from nuclear-encoded proteins.
Can I buy MOTS-C 40mg peptide online in the USA?
Yes. Peptalix Labs offers MOTS-C 40mg for purchase online for qualified USA researchers, COA-verified and GMP-sourced.
Does Peptalix Labs ship MOTS-C internationally?
Yes, to Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and most of Europe, with tracked delivery in 5-12 business days.
Is MOTS-C peptide legal to buy in the USA?
Yes, as a research chemical for qualified researchers conducting in-vitro laboratory studies. Not FDA-approved for human use. Sold strictly for research purposes.
What is the appearance of MOTS-C 40mg?
Lyophilised powder, as confirmed on the testing laboratory’s Certificate of Analysis.
What is the research dosage range for MOTS-C?
Published MOTS-C research has used varying dosing parameters depending on study model. Peptalix Labs does not provide dosing guidance, as our products are sold for research use only.
How does MOTS-C differ from nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins?
MOTS-C is unique in being encoded directly within mitochondrial DNA (the 12S rRNA region) rather than nuclear DNA, distinguishing it from most other mitochondrial-associated proteins and contributing to research interest in its signalling role.
Does this COA include heavy metals and sterility testing?
Yes. The full QC panel includes heavy metals analysis (all Not Detected), sterility testing via PCR (No Growth), endotoxin testing (NMT 0.05 EU/mL), and a negative fentanyl screen.
Which lab tested Peptalix Labs MOTS-C 40mg, and is the COA verifiable?
ILS Laboratories, an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited facility in San Diego, CA. The COA can be independently verified at portal.ils-lab.com using Access Code TK4B5YT5.
What other energy and mitochondrial research compounds does Peptalix Labs offer?
Our energy category includes NAD+, SS-31, Glutathione, L-Carnitine, and the NAD+ MOTS-C 5-Amino-1MQ blend — all COA-verified and GMP-sourced.
