Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide — MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR (16-mer; 12S rRNA-encoded)
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It activates AMPK via inhibition of AICAR transformylase (ATIC) in the folate-methionine cycle, modulates FOXO1-dependent transcription, and translocates to the nucleus under metabolic stress. Research models have characterised MOTS-c in skeletal muscle insulin sensitisation, adipose tissue metabolic regulation, mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative stress resistance, and overlap with exercise-induced molecular signalling cascades.

Reported composition each test reported separately, not a mass balance
Every figure is the result printed on the certificate. Purity is by HPLC area integration and the others are separate determinations on the same lot, so they are shown as separate bars rather than as shares of one total.

Corrections and queries 2 corrected, 1 queried with the supplier
| Field | On the supplier document | Here | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test numbering | ten numbered rows, with two results under row 6 | renumbered in sequence | Row 6, Related Substance, carries two separate limits and two separate results. They are listed as separate tests here, so every row after it shifts up by one against the document's numbering. |
| Solubility specification | Soluble in water or acetic acid at a to give a clear, colorless solution | Soluble in water or acetic acid to give a clear, colourless solution | Wording only. The stray 'at a' is a typing error in the supplier's template; the result, Conforms, is unchanged. |
| Assay result | 102.11% | shown as reported, queried | 102.11% is exactly peptide content 83.51% + acetate 14.1% + water 4.5%, an arithmetic sum rather than an anhydrous, acetate-free assay. The same 102.11% appears on this supplier's Semax certificate from the same arithmetic. A measured result is not ours to rewrite, so it stands as printed and we have asked the supplier to correct it. |
A measured result is never rewritten. Where a reported figure does not stand up, it is shown as printed and marked as queried.
Sample lot. This is the report supplied with the sample of this compound. A production lot ships with its own report, published here in the same form and indexed by its own lot number.
Every analytical figure above is transcribed from the supplier’s report for lot P240715-YS448144. Identity is the PubChem record, which can be checked independently. Purity is the main peak’s share of integrated peak area at the detection wavelength, so it measures related impurities. Water, salts and counter-ions are not part of it. These are the supplier’s release documents, not independent third-party tests.
