About the compound
What is MOTS-C?
MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA) region, making it one of a small group of peptides transcribed from the mitochondrial genome. It has a molecular weight of 2174.50 (CAS 1627580-64-6). This listing is the higher-capacity 40mg vial, and Sova supplies MOTS-C UK in this larger size for extended research programmes.
The 40mg vial contains exactly the same peptide as the 10mg presentation, offered in greater quantity so laboratories running repeated or scaled experiments need fewer individual vials. Research associates MOTS-C with the AMPK signalling pathway, positioning it as a metabolic regulator examined at the level of cellular energy sensing and mitochondrial-to-nuclear communication in laboratory models.
Within the literature MOTS-C is studied in metabolic-regulation, AMPK-pathway and ageing research, where investigators explore its role in cellular energy homeostasis using in-vitro and preclinical models. Sova provides the 40mg vial strictly as a characterised reference material for such work. No physiological, metabolic or anti-ageing benefit is claimed or implied by supplying it.
Each batch is analysed by HPLC alongside mass spectrometry to confirm identity and purity, with a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis supplied for every 40mg vial. Store the sealed, lyophilised peptide frozen and shielded from light, and reconstitute only under controlled laboratory conditions. Sova is a UK-based supplier providing this material for laboratory research use only, not for human or animal use.

FAQ
MOTS-C, answered.
What is MOTS-C?
+
MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. It is catalogued under CAS 1627580-64-6 with a molecular weight of 2174.50. This is the higher-capacity 40mg vial supplied for research.
Is MOTS-C legal to buy in the UK?
+
It is supplied strictly as a research chemical on a research-use-only basis. Sova provides it to research and professional customers as a reference material; it is not a medicine or supplement and is not for human or animal consumption.
What is MOTS-C studied for?
+
In the research literature it is studied within metabolic-regulation, AMPK-pathway and ageing research, where its role in cellular energy homeostasis is examined in in-vitro and preclinical models.
How is Sova's MOTS-C verified?
+
Each batch is verified by HPLC alongside mass spectrometry to confirm peptide identity and purity, with the results recorded on a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis supplied with every 40mg vial.
How should MOTS-C be stored?
+
Keep the sealed, lyophilised vial frozen and protected from light until required. Reconstitution and any short-term storage of prepared solutions should be handled under appropriate laboratory conditions.
Why choose the 40mg MOTS-C vial over the 10mg?
+
It is the same peptide encoded in the 12S rRNA region, simply supplied in a larger 40mg quantity for extended or repeated research so laboratories running scaled experiments need fewer individual vials.
