Mitochondrial Peptides

That origin is what defines the group; it is a statement about where a sequence is read from, not about any property. Several such sequences have been described in the literature, and the general structural vocabulary for this and every other group in the catalogue is summarised in the article on the peptide class.

The product listed in this category is MOTS-c, a 16-amino-acid peptide whose reading frame lies in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. It is produced by chemical synthesis, not extracted from biological material, and is supplied as a salt.

Delivery is as a lyophilised powder in a sealed vial. Incoming goods are recorded with their delivery date and storage location, so that the vial can be matched with the corresponding paperwork. The material is tested at regular intervals by an external, independent laboratory, using HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity, together with heavy-metal and endotoxin testing; what is checked at goods-in is described under quality control. Certificates that are available appear in the lab area with the product and test date they refer to, and material without a published certificate is marked as pending. The guide to reading a certificate of analysis explains the sections of such a document.

Vials are kept sealed, cool, dry and away from light; the practical notes are collected under storage of lyophilised peptides. A related single-substance group is listed under redox peptides. Shipping is from Germany within the EU, securely packed.
