MOTS-C FAQ: Reconstitution, Storage, Purity & Sourcing
3 min read•Published 2025-01-01•Quality Peptide USA Research
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the 12S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome. It is studied as a metabolic regulator with reported activity in skeletal muscle, adipose, and hepatic models.. This guide covers faq for researchers for MOTS-C — written for laboratory researchers sourcing US-synthesized peptides from Quality Peptide USA.
Is MOTS-C research-grade?
Yes. Every batch of MOTS-C sold by Quality Peptide USA is released to a ≥ 99% HPLC purity specification, with mass-spec identity confirmation and LAL endotoxin testing on every lot. The certificate of analysis is published on the product page.
How should MOTS-C be reconstituted?
Reconstitute MOTS-C with bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol). Inject the water down the inside wall of the vial — do not inject directly onto the lyophilized cake. Swirl gently until fully dissolved. Refrigerate at 2–8°C after reconstitution.
What is the reported half-life?
Short in circulation (research models) Half-life figures from in-vitro models are not directly transferable to ex-vivo or in-vivo systems.
Where is MOTS-C synthesized?
MOTS-C is synthesized in the United States and ships from a US facility. No overseas drop-shipping, no customs delays, full domestic cold chain.
What testing is performed on each batch?
RP-HPLC purity (≥ 99% spec), ESI / MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, Karl Fischer water content, LAL endotoxin screen, and bioburden. All results are published on the per-batch certificate of analysis.
Can MOTS-C be stacked with other peptides?
Many research protocols pair MOTS-C with complementary peptides — the Glow stack for dermal models, the Wolverine stack for tissue repair, or GHRH/GHRP secretagogue blends for somatotropic studies. Review the published literature for your specific endpoint before designing a stacked protocol.
