What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide first described from a short reading frame in mitochondrial DNA. Its name reflects that research background.
MOTS-c stands for mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c. The original study describes a short reading frame in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region and the 16-amino-acid peptide identified there.
Mitochondrial refers here to the background of the molecule’s identification. It does not mean that a catalog product contains mitochondria or a mitochondrial extract.

MOTS-c and NAD+ are different molecule types
MOTS-c is an amino-acid chain. NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme. Although both may appear in literature about cellular biochemistry, they belong to different chemical groups.
Molecular identity comes before quantity when comparing products. Mg measures material amount and does not make different molecule types the same substance.
