Description
MOTS-c is a research material commonly used as a reference standard or experimental reagent in controlled laboratory settings. Typical use cases include AMPK pathway and metabolic signaling assays, glucose uptake studies in cell culture, analytical method development, and non-clinical in vitro workflows.
Note that MOTS-c contains two methionine residues, which are susceptible to oxidation. As with other Met-containing peptides, minimize oxidative exposure during handling and confirm identity against the lot COA rather than assuming sequence integrity from label alone.
Documentation such as COA, HPLC chromatograms, and LC-MS data may be available on a lot basis where applicable. Request documentation by emailing connect@novuspeptides.com with the catalog number and required tests.
This product is sold strictly for laboratory research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary administration. Buyer is responsible for lawful handling, storage, and use in accordance with all applicable regulations.
