Research Context
MOTS-c belongs to the mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) family, a class encoded in mitochondrial rather than nuclear DNA. It appears in metabolic and mitochondrial biology research. Ascend Research supplies MOTS-c strictly as a laboratory reference material; no representation is made regarding any physiological outcome, and it is not supplied for use in humans or animals.
Handling and Reconstitution
Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening. Reconstitute with sterile water and swirl gently. Store the lyophilised powder dry at 2–8°C, refrigerate reconstituted material and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
What's Included
- One lyophilised vial (10mg or 40mg, as selected)
- Protective packaging
Frequently Asked Questions
