Peptide stability: how storage and handling impact purity
Lyophilized peptides are more fragile than the marketing suggests. What degradation looks like in our testing data.
Lab InsightsMOTS-c
Also known as: Mitochondrial ORF of the twelve S rRNA type-c
ClassMitochondrial-derived peptide
Research statusPreclinical / early human trials
Independent tests1
Studies indexed1
Overview
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded within mitochondrial DNA, part of an emerging class of mitochondrial-derived peptides. Research has focused on metabolic regulation, insulin sensitivity, and exercise capacity in animal models, with a small phase 1 human program (as a related analog) in obesity.
