Origin and target
Where each one comes from, and what it binds
MOTS-c
Origin. A 16-residue peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene rather than the nuclear genome.
Target. One of the mitochondrial-derived peptides, a class defined by being encoded in mitochondrial DNA.
Full referenceNAD+
Origin. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a pyridine dinucleotide coenzyme present in all living cells.
Target. A redox cofactor, cycling between oxidized and reduced forms, and a substrate for several enzyme classes.

Handling
The same for both
Both ship as freeze-dried powder, both mix with bacteriostatic water the same way, and both are stored at minus 20 C out of the light until then. What differs is which breakdown route each sequence is prone to, and the stability guide shows how to read that from the amino acids.
