MOTS-c 20MG

Product overview

MOTS-c 20MG is a peptide research material supplied in a 20mg vial presentation (SKU MS20). It is a separate catalogue amount of the same named molecule listed as MOTS-c 10mg.

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide linked to mitochondrial biology. Mitochondria are cell structures involved in energy processing. Research examines how MOTS-c relates to metabolic signals and communication with the cell nucleus.

What researchers study

• Communication between mitochondria and the cell nucleus
• AMPK, a cellular energy-sensing pathway
• Changes in gene activity during metabolic stress
• Peptide identity, analytical content and batch consistency

Evidence and limitations

The cited research examines mechanisms in cells and animals under defined experimental conditions. It does not establish a clinical benefit or show how this independently supplied material performs.

The molecular formula and weight describe the reference peptide. Salt forms and other formulation components need separate batch documentation. The 20mg presentation changes the supplied catalogue amount, not the established molecular identity or research mechanism.

Storage and laboratory handling

Before preparing a solution: Keep the original vial closed and follow the product label, safety data and batch documentation for storage conditions. Storage information for a reference material does not establish a shelf life for this ExtolX batch.

After preparing a solution: No batch-specific solution stability or universal compatibility has been verified. The laboratory must validate the solvent, concentration, container, temperature and hold time for its method.

Handle only in an appropriately equipped laboratory using suitable personal protective equipment and local disposal procedures.
