What differs at the molecular level
MOTS-c (CAS 1627580-64-6) is a short mitochondrial open-reading-frame peptide used as a research tool in cellular metabolism models. Catalog form is lyophilized peptide at 10 mg and 20 mg listed strengths.
NAD+ (CAS 53-84-9) is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, listed here as a research reagent (not a peptide) at 500 mg and 1000 mg. Storage and solvent notes should follow the lot SDS/COA package (−20 °C where specified).
Do not treat peptide and cofactor identities as substitutes. Related reading: MOTS-c blog, NAD+ research applications.
Which one for your protocol?
MOTS-c when the protocol requires the mitochondrial peptide identity (CAS 1627580-64-6).
NAD+ when the protocol requires the cofactor identity (CAS 53-84-9).
If a methods section mentions both, plan separate reagent lines and separate lot documentation.
