MOTS-c UK — buying guide
What to check before you buy MOTS-c in the UK: a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in cellular-energy research, verified per batch.
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide whose sequence is encoded within the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA region of mitochondrial DNA, rather than the nuclear genome — one of a small group of peptides transcribed from the mitochondrial genome. It carries CAS number 1627580-64-6 and a molecular weight of 2174.50.
In the research literature MOTS-c is studied in metabolic-regulation, AMPK-pathway and cellular-ageing research, where investigators explore its role in cellular energy homeostasis using in-vitro and preclinical models. Sova supplies it strictly as a characterised reference material — not for human or veterinary use, and with no claim of any effect in people.
Before you buy
How to verify MOTS-c before you buy
MOTS-c is a mid-sized peptide (2174.50 Da), so confirming both identity and purity against the specific batch is the check that matters when sourcing it.
Every Sova MOTS-c vial ships with a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis. Before you buy, confirm the CoA references the batch on the vial, that identity is confirmed by ESI mass spectrometry against the expected 2174.50 Da, and that purity is measured by reverse-phase HPLC. Enter the batch at /verify to pull the certificate.
Why buy MOTS-c from Sova
- ✓HPLC (purity) + ESI mass spectrometry (identity) on every batch — no exceptions.
- ✓A batch-linked Certificate of Analysis you can verify from the code on the vial.
- ✓Available in 10mg and higher-capacity 40mg research vials.
- ✓UK stock, same-day dispatch; supplied strictly for laboratory research use only.

How is Sova's MOTS-c verified?
Each batch is analysed by reverse-phase HPLC for purity and by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm the molecular weight against the expected 2174.50 Da. A batch-linked Certificate of Analysis accompanies every vial and can be checked at /verify.
What is MOTS-c studied for?
MOTS-c is studied for its role in metabolic regulation and the cellular stress response, and is of interest in cellular-ageing and exercise-metabolism research, where its associations with AMPK signalling and glucose utilisation are examined in model systems.
What sizes does Sova supply MOTS-c in?
Sova supplies MOTS-c as a 10mg research vial and a higher-capacity 40mg vial for extended research programmes. Both are verified per batch with their own Certificate of Analysis.
