What it is
MOTS-C. A 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA gene of mitochondrial DNA — one of the few known peptides encoded by the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear genome. Supplied as a lyophilised powder.
Tested to 99%+ purity by HPLC. Identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. Every lot ships with its certificate.
Discussed in the published literature in connection with AMPK signalling. That characterisation belongs to the published pharmacology and is not a claim made by Alpha Aminos.
Supplied for laboratory research into peptide chemistry, stability, and structure–activity relationships.
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not a drug, supplement, or food.

The certificate itself is linked below, is in the product images above, and a copy ships with the vial.
Every lot goes to an independent laboratory before it reaches us, and we test it again when it arrives. Two results have to agree before a compound earns a listing. The paperwork belongs to the exact vial you were sent — not to a representative batch from an earlier run.

The kits
Some things are better together.
Our kits are the combinations worth running together — assembled deliberately, priced below the sum of their parts, and shipped as separate vials so every compound keeps its own lot number and its own certificate.
