MOTS-c

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-encoded peptide attracting interest in research on cellular energy and communication between mitochondria and the rest of the cell. Projects commonly explore metabolism, exercise response and adaptive processes.

Choose a 10 mg or 20 mg vial to suit the scale of the study. Because the material is sensitive to light and oxidation, it is supplied as a dry lyophilisate with batch analytical documentation.

Form: lyophilised powder, white to pale cream, in a glass vial with a butyl rubber stopper and an aluminium seal. Available variants: a 10 mg vial and a 20 mg vial of peptide. Purity: not less than 98 % by HPLC, identity confirmed by mass spectrometry.

Because the sequence is oxidation-sensitive, vials are sealed under an inert gas atmosphere. The batch number on the label matches the certificate of analysis supplied with the shipment; shipping is from a warehouse in Poland.

Keep the sealed vial at −20 °C, in a dry place and fully shielded from light – tryptophan residues photodegrade, so the vial should not be left standing on a bench in a lit room.

Laboratory reconstitution uses bacteriostatic water, added slowly down the wall of the vial. Dissolve by swirling the vial gently, without shaking. Keep the solution at 2–8 °C in amber glass or in a vessel wrapped in aluminium foil, and treat it as short-lived material; solutions intended for longer storage should be divided into aliquots and frozen, to limit the number of freeze-thaw cycles.
