Overview

MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded by the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, identified in the academic literature as a peptide that translocates from the mitochondrion to the cytoplasm and to the extracellular space under defined research conditions. MOTS-C 20 mg is the standard 20 mg research vial format, supplied lyophilized, intended for in-vitro cell-based assays, mitochondrial-derived peptide pathway research, and analytical method development. SPK Pharma India supplies MOTS-C 20 mg as a documented, lot-traceable research compound for distributors, contract manufacturers, and academic laboratories. The disambiguation between the 20 mg and the 40 mg bulk-pack formats is important for research buyers — the two formats are the same peptide, but the 20 mg format is the standard research vial and the 40 mg format is the bulk research vial.

Research context

MOTS-C is studied in cell-based research on mitochondrial-derived peptide signalling, on the regulation of cellular energy metabolism, and on the interaction of the peptide with the folate cycle and the AMPK pathway in defined cell-based systems. The Met residues in the sequence are sensitive to oxidation, and the Trp residue is mildly light-sensitive — both are accounted for in the recommended storage and handling conditions.

The 20 mg vial format is the standard research format, suitable for method development, cell-based assays, and reference-standard qualification. The companion 40 mg bulk-pack format is documented on the MOTS-C 40 mg page. SPK Pharma India does not make therapeutic, clinical, diagnostic, or dosing claims for this product. The compound is supplied strictly for in-vitro research, analytical method development, and reference-standard work.

For researchers new to the compound, the standard analytical reference points are CAS 1627580-64-6, the 16-amino-acid sequence MRWQEMGQIREADLAR, the calculated molecular weight of 2,174.6 g/mol, the lyophilized powder form, and the documented purity threshold (≥99% HPLC).

Packaging and supply

  • 20 mg research vial — the standard 20 mg research format, suitable for method development, cell-based assays, and reference-standard qualification. Standard MOQ: 5 vials.
  • Bulk pack — on application, for annual supply contracts and recurring orders.

Distributor pricing is available on application. Annual supply contracts with scheduled recurring dispatch are available for repeat buyers. Lead time for in-stock SKUs is typically 5 business days from purchase order confirmation; lead time for scheduled production is typically 4 to 6 weeks.

Quality and documentation

Every lot of MOTS-C 20 mg ships with a lot-matched Certificate of Analysis documenting identity (mass spectrometry and amino acid analysis), purity (HPLC), appearance, lot number, and synthesis batch reference. A representative sample of every lot is independently verified by a third-party analytical laboratory before release. MSDS is supplied with every shipment. The COA template, the lot-traceability workflow, and the third-party verification scope are documented on the Quality page.

Storage and handling

  • Store at -20°C in the original sealed container.
  • Protect from light and moisture. The Met residues are mildly oxidation-sensitive; the Trp residue is mildly light-sensitive.
  • Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening, to avoid condensation.
  • Reconstitute in sterile, low-endotoxin research-grade water or in a mild buffer at the working concentration required by the assay.
  • Do not refreeze once reconstituted; aliquot and store at working concentration.
  • For longer peptides, avoid vigorous vortexing; allow gentle dissolution to minimise aggregation.

Shipping

MOTS-C 20 mg is shipped lyophilized in sealed vials within temperature-validated packaging. International lanes are routed through dedicated life-science logistics partners with cold-chain handling. Standard dispatch is within 5 business days of purchase order confirmation. SPK Pharma India ships to the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, MENA, APAC, and LATAM. Full export documentation, including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, COA, and MSDS, is included with every shipment. Destination-specific documentation is supported on request.
