We Accept:
Independently Verified. Every Batch
Every Aurevena product is sent to an independent, accredited third-party laboratory before it is offered for sale. Certificates of Analysis confirm compound identity, purity percentage, and the absence of harmful contaminants.
COAs are published by lot number so researchers can verify the exact product they receive. We do not sell any product that does not clear our purity threshold.
- Compound identity (HPLC / MS verification)
- Purity percentage (target ≥ 99%)
- Absence of heavy metals
- Lot-number traceability

Description
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA and a notable tool compound in metabolic and mitochondrial research. Laboratory investigators study MOTS-c for its role in activating the AMPK energy-sensing pathway, regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, and influencing the folate cycle and metabolic stress responses in vitro and in preclinical systems. Supplied for in-vitro and laboratory research only — not for human or veterinary use.
