Compound Overview
MOTS-C is a synthetic 16–amino acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA and classified as a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP). Its linear amino acid sequence and defined molecular framework contribute to its physicochemical properties and analytical detectability in laboratory research workflows.
In laboratory research settings, MOTS-C is evaluated for peptide stability profiling, receptor and signaling interaction characterization, and analytical quantification using chromatographic and mass spectrometry methodologies. Experimental literature describes its classification within mitochondrial-derived regulatory peptide systems investigated in controlled in vitro and preclinical animal models. All data referenced on this page is derived from published preclinical animal and in vitro studies. No human clinical trials have established approved uses for MOTS-C as a research compound.

Compare to Related Compounds
NAD+
- MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived regulatory peptide, whereas NAD+ is a metabolic coenzyme central to mitochondrial redox reactions and energy metabolism research.
- These compounds differ structurally, with MOTS-C being a 16–amino acid peptide and NAD+ classified as a nucleotide-derived cofactor analyzed in biochemical pathway studies.
GHK-Cu
- MOTS-C is a linear mitochondrial-derived peptide, whereas GHK-Cu is a tripeptide complexed with a copper ion forming a peptide–metal coordination complex.
- Analytical differentiation is based on sequence length, molecular mass, and the presence or absence of metal coordination in laboratory characterization systems.
Handling & Storage
Lyophilized Stability:
When stored sealed in a dry environment protected from light, lyophilized peptide material may maintain chemical stability for up to 12 months at controlled room temperature. For maximum long-term preservation, storage at -20°C is recommended.
Post-Reconstitution Stability:
Following reconstitution under sterile laboratory conditions, the solution may maintain stability for up to 30 days when stored at 2–8°C. Minimize repeated freeze–thaw cycles and protect from light to preserve peptide integrity.
Handling:
Allow vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Use sterile technique throughout preparation.
