We're looking at about 200mg per vial on this order, lyophilized white powder, dilevery usually lands in 10-14 business days — I needed something for the mitochondrial metabolism side of the project that could actually cross cell membranes without a carrier.
It's a 16-amino acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA, which is pretty unusual, and the data suggests it targets skeletal muscle directly for glucose uptake — we've been stuck using older analogues that don't hold up in metabolic syndrome models we're running.
Purity came back at >99% by HPLC with MS verification, molecular weight 2174.62 g/mol, and it's soluble in water so reconstitution is straightforward — we usually store it at -20°C and it's stable for about 6 months or so that way.
Teh CAS number is 1627580-64-6, and what it does is improve glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function without the insulin spike issues you get with other compounds — basically it's better than standerd reagents for this kind of work, though it's not suited for anything beyond research use.
Stock levels were fine when I checked, but the supplier mentioned they're seeing higher demand form the exercise physiology labs — we usually have 2-3 weeks lead time, but I'd confirm if you need it faster.
One thing I didn't think to ask upfront: the COA covers HPLC and MS, but they don't routinely test for endotoxin unless you request it seperately — a detail worth knowing if your assays are sensitive.
Our standard MOQ for MOTS-c is 10 mg per vial, but we can accommodate larger bulk orders if you reach out directly.
Orders are usually processed and shipped within 1-3 business days, depending on stock availability.
Yes, each batch is verified by HPLC and MS, and we can provide a CoA upon request to confirm the purity and identity.
Yes, MOTS-c is soluble in water at standard lab conditions, though we recommend testing a small amount first to ensure complete dissolution for your specific buffer.
Store MOTS-c at -20°C in a freezer, away from light and moisture. Under these conditions, it stays stable for at least 12 months.
