Mitochondrial-derived research peptide

Buy MOTS-c Research Peptide | Batch COA, Price in EUR | Bio Mech

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA. This guide covers what MOTS-c is, how Bio Mech Peptides verifies every batch, and how laboratory researchers source vials reliably across Spain, the UK, mainland Europe and the USA.

Reading this research reference

The information below concerns the research subject, not proof of the identity or performance of a supplied material. Check the original sources and your laboratory’s requirements; product documentation must be assessed separately for the exact batch.

What MOTS-c is and why researchers study it

MOTS-c (Mitochondrial Open Reading frame of the Twelve S rRNA-c) was identified in 2015 as one of the first peptides translated from a small open reading frame inside the mitochondrial genome. Published preclinical work has linked MOTS-c administration to improved insulin sensitivity, AMPK pathway activation, enhanced metabolic flexibility and resistance to age-related metabolic decline in rodent models.

Because the molecule sits at the interface of mitochondrial biology, longevity research and metabolic-disease modelling, MOTS-c has become a staple in laboratory panels focused on cellular energetics, mitokine signalling and exercise-mimetic pathways.

How Bio Mech tests every MOTS-c batch

No laboratory reports have yet been verified for publication against Bio Mech stock. Ask support about documentation for the exact production lot before ordering.

Janoshik Analytical is the default verification partner. Per-batch PDFs are published on the lab reports page and tied to the batch number printed on every vial cap.

Storage, reconstitution and laboratory handling

Lyophilised MOTS-c is dispatched as a sterile white powder under inert atmosphere. Hold the unopened vial at 2–8 °C; transfer to −20 °C if the kit will not be reconstituted within 8–12 months. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for a two-month (60-day) in-use stability window under refrigeration.

Most laboratories use 5–10 mg/ml stock concentrations and aliquot before any freeze. Avoid vortex aggression — swirl the vial until the cake fully dissolves. MOTS-c is generally well-behaved during reconstitution; cloudy or coloured solutions are a red flag for handling error or undisclosed impurities.

Buying MOTS-c in Spain and across Europe

Bio Mech dispatches MOTS-c from our Germany, USA or China hub with 5–18 day tracked delivery and 5–18 day nationwide Spain coverage via tracked courier.

US buyers should confirm institutional research-purchasing policy before ordering. Bio Mech material is sold strictly for research use only.

MOTS-c vs AOD-9604 vs SS-31

Researchers comparing mitochondrial and metabolic peptides often place MOTS-c alongside SS-31 (Elamipretide) for inner-membrane bioenergetic work and AOD-9604 for adipose-tissue lipolysis modelling. MOTS-c sits in a distinct mechanistic lane via AICAR-like AMPK activation; SS-31 modulates cardiolipin interaction at the inner mitochondrial membrane; AOD-9604 acts on β3-adrenergic fat-mobilisation pathways.

Stocking all three from the same supplier keeps batch documentation and packaging consistent across a comparative panel.

What to demand from any MOTS-c supplier

An honest MOTS-c supplier publishes a per-batch third-party COA, names the testing laboratory and prints the batch number on the vial. Reject suppliers showing a single static COA across all production runs or refusing to identify their analytical partner — those are reliable indicators of unverified material.

Frequently asked questions

What is MOTS-c?+

A 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded inside the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA, studied for metabolic and longevity research applications.

Is MOTS-c safe for human use?+

Bio Mech MOTS-c is supplied strictly for in-vitro and preclinical research. It is not approved for human use in any jurisdiction.

What HPLC purity should I expect?+

No laboratory reports have yet been verified for publication against Bio Mech stock. Ask support about documentation for the exact production lot before ordering.

How is MOTS-c reconstituted?+

With bacteriostatic water for a two-month (60-day) in-use stability window under refrigeration. Most labs use 5–10 mg/ml stock concentrations.

Do you ship MOTS-c to the UK?+

Yes — 5–18 day tracked dispatch with VAT and import handling included transparently at checkout.

Do you ship MOTS-c to the USA?+

Yes, with discreet tracked international dispatch in temperature-buffered packaging.

How is MOTS-c different from SS-31?+

MOTS-c is encoded inside mitochondrial DNA and activates AMPK-related pathways; SS-31 (Elamipretide) modulates cardiolipin at the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Who tests Bio Mech's MOTS-c batches?+

Janoshik Analytical or an equivalent independent European laboratory. Reports are downloadable per batch.
