MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA of mitochondrial DNA. Characterised in the literature for its effects on AMPK signalling and glucose metabolism in cellular and preclinical models. Supplied as lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, derived from the polypeptide Epithalamin isolated from the pineal gland. Characterised in preclinical literature for its effects on telomerase expression in cultured cells. Supplied as lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.
Both compounds are characterised in the research literature within mitochondrial and telomere research. Researchers typically consult the primary peer-reviewed publications for each compound before selecting one for a specific experimental protocol. The two are frequently studied in parallel and occasionally cited together in comparative pharmacology reviews.
Both MOTS-c and Epithalon are supplied as lyophilised powder and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water using standard laboratory technique. For full reconstitution methodology see our Research Handling Guide, or compute resulting mg/ml concentrations with the Reconstitution Volume Calculator.
Every batch of both compounds is independently HPLC-verified by Janoshik Analytical at 99%+ purity. The lab report is supplied with every order and carries a unique verification key.
