The details
behind the compound.
Overview
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene — unusual in being encoded by mitochondrial rather than nuclear DNA. It is a linear, amphipathic, cationic peptide, and a natural polymorphism in its sequence has been associated with exceptional longevity in some populations.
It is a modern reference standard in the longevity category, studied for its role in metabolic- and cellular-energy signaling.

Storage & handling
Store the lyophilized powder well below freezing, desiccated. Reconstituted solution is held near 4°C briefly or aliquoted and frozen; note that the peptide shows marked plasma instability.
