Why buy MOTS-c Peptide from TrueBond Labs
The published MOTS-c certificate
An independent third-party lab tested our published MOTS-c lot, confirmed identity and reported HPLC purity of at least 99%. Open the MOTS-c certificate before you buy, then compare its lot code with the one on your vial when it arrives.
A mitochondrial-derived peptide
Most natural peptides are encoded by genes in the cell nucleus. MOTS-c is different: its sequence is encoded in mitochondrial DNA. Ours is synthetic, 16 residues long, and supplied as 10mg of freeze-dried powder in a sealed 3 mL vial.
Grouped with NAD+
MOTS-c sits in our mitochondrial research group next to NAD+, a coenzyme sold in 500mg and 1000mg vials. They're separate products, each with its own certificate. Both are listed on our third-party tested peptides page.
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide (sequence MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR) encoded by a short open reading frame in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. The name stands for mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA type-c, which is where the lowercase c comes from. In three-letter codes, the sequence runs Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg. It was first described in 2015.
It belongs to a small group known as mitochondrial-derived peptides and appears in published laboratory research on mitochondrial biology. We sell it for in-vitro laboratory research only, as a single compound with nothing blended in.

MOTS-c Peptide: frequently asked questions
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome, within the 12S rRNA gene. We sell it as a 10mg lyophilized vial for laboratory research use only, not for human or animal use, to buyers 21 and over.
Is your MOTS-c third-party tested?
Yes. An independent US lab tested our published MOTS-c lot. Find the lot code on your vial label, then look it up on our lab reports page to open its certificate. If your code doesn't match a posted certificate, email us and we'll sort it out.
What is the difference between MOTS-c and NAD+?
They're different kinds of molecules. MOTS-c is a peptide, a short chain of amino acids. NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide at all. We sell them as separate vials, each with its own published lot certificate.
What is a mitochondrial-derived peptide?
It's a short peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than in the cell nucleus. Mitochondria carry a small genome of their own, and a handful of peptides have been traced to short reading frames inside it. MOTS-c, from the 12S rRNA gene, is one of the best-known examples.
How should I store MOTS-c?
Put the sealed vial in the freezer when your package arrives. At −20°C (−4°F), lyophilized MOTS-c keeps for 24+ months. Keep it away from light, and avoid moving it in and out of the freezer more than you have to.
Where can I buy MOTS-c in the USA?
You can order it right here, as a guest or with a free research account that gets a one-time discount on your first order. Weekday orders placed before 2PM ET ship the same day from Fort Lauderdale by USPS with tracking. We ship to US addresses only.
