MOTS-C

Research compound supplied in Australia by Pulse Biolabs for laboratory use. Available in 10mg, 40mg.

Pulse Research // 002  ·  Mitochondrial-encoded signalling peptide

MOTS-c is a small peptide encoded by the DNA inside mitochondria rather than by the cell nucleus. It is studied as a signal cells use when their energy supply comes under stress.

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA rather than the cell nucleus. It is studied as a signal mitochondria may send to the rest of the cell when energy is scarce, including movement into the nucleus to alter stress-response genes. Evidence comes from cell culture and mouse studies of administered peptide, plus measurements of the naturally occurring peptide in small groups of adults; no randomised trial of administered MOTS-c in people was identified.

Batch documents

1 published report for MOTS-C, listed by presentation and batch. Where a batch reference is shown, match it to the batch on the vial label; a report for an earlier batch is historical documentation and does not describe the batch currently supplied. Where no batch reference is published, the report cannot be matched to a vial and is historical documentation only. No report is published for 40mg. Each report describes the sample and the tests shown on it. A purity result does not by itself establish identity, quantity, sterility or endotoxin status unless those tests appear on the report, and a report for one batch does not describe another.
