MOTS-c vs NAD+
MOTS-c and NAD+ belong to different compound classes. MOTS-c is a 16-residue mitochondrial-derived peptide (MRWQEMGYIFYPRKLR; C101H152N28O22S2, 2174.6 g/mol). NAD+ is not a peptide but a dinucleotide redox coenzyme (C21H27N7O14P2, 663.43 g/mol). In vitro, MOTS-c is characterized in cell-signaling assays, while NAD+ serves as an enzyme cofactor in biochemical assays.

Perguntas frequentes
Are MOTS-c and NAD+ the same type of compound?+
No. MOTS-c is a 16-residue peptide with a defined amino-acid sequence. NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme with no amino-acid sequence; its formula carries two phosphorus atoms from the pyrophosphate linkage, while MOTS-c carries two sulfur atoms from its methionine residues.
How do their molecular weights and vial fills compare?+
MOTS-c is the heavier molecule at 2174.6 g/mol versus 663.43 g/mol for NAD+. NAD+ is supplied in much larger vial fills than MOTS-c; both are supplied as lyophilized powder.
How are MOTS-c and NAD+ used in vitro?+
MOTS-c is characterized in cell-signaling assays, including AMPK-pathway work. NAD+ is used as a cofactor or substrate in enzyme assays such as sirtuin and PARP activity measurements. Both are for in-vitro laboratory research use only.
