MOTS-c reconstitution and storage
MOTS-c's numbers in one place: the mitochondrial-derived 16-residue peptide, its mass, vial size, concentration table and what its report should show.
Published September 4, 2026
MOTS-c is encoded inside the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear one, which is what makes it interesting and what its name records.

MOTS-c vial sizes we sell, at four diluent volumes. Molarity uses 2174.62 g/mol. Other volumes
A 10 mg vial is about 4.6 micromoles. The MOTS-c calculator has the weight preset.
Handling
Water down the inside wall, swirl, never shake. Freezer for the dry powder, fridge short term and once in solution. Storage guide.

Nearby in the catalog
SS-31 is a four-residue mitochondrial-targeting peptide at 639.79 g/mol, also known as elamipretide. NAD+ is not a peptide at all but a coenzyme at 663.43 g/mol, studied in the same metabolic area. Different molecules, adjacent questions.
Every MOTS-c vial from pepuro ships free, from Calgary, the same business day your e-Transfer clears, with a QR code on the vial that opens its Janoshik Analytical report.

Frequently asked questions
What is the molecular weight of MOTS-c?+
2174.62 g/mol, formula C101H152N28O22S2. Its sequence is MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR, 16 residues.
What does mitochondrial-derived mean?+
MOTS-c is encoded within the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene rather than in nuclear DNA. That is unusual, and it is why the peptide is studied as a signalling molecule between the mitochondria and the rest of the cell.
How much water do I add to a 10 mg MOTS-c vial?+
1 mL gives 10 mg/mL, 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL, 5 mL gives 2 mg/mL. At 2,174.62 g/mol, 10 mg is about 4.6 micromoles.
How does it compare with SS-31?+
Both are studied in mitochondrial research but they are very different molecules. SS-31 is a four-residue peptide at 639.79 g/mol; MOTS-c is 16 residues at 2,174.62.
