About mitochondrial and metabolic research compounds

This category groups compounds studied in cellular energy metabolism, from peptides encoded in mitochondrial DNA to coenzymes and small-molecule enzyme inhibitors. They are used in laboratory models of mitochondrial function, redox balance and metabolic regulation.

Compounds in this category

  • MOTS-C (10mg, 20mg, 40mg): a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA. MOTS-C research guide.
  • SS-31 (10mg, 50mg): a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that associates with cardiolipin in the inner membrane. SS-31 research overview.
  • NAD+ (100mg, 500mg, 1000mg): the redox coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NAD+ research overview.
  • Glutathione (600mg, 1200mg, 1500mg): the cellular tripeptide made of glutamate, cysteine and glycine, central to redox research.
  • 5-Amino-1MQ (10mg, 50mg): a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).
  • AOD9604 (5mg, 10mg): a modified fragment of the C-terminal end of human growth hormone (176-191).
  • SLU-PP-332 (10mg): a synthetic small-molecule agonist of the estrogen-related receptors (ERR).
  • L-Carnitine (600mg): the carrier that moves long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria.

Frequently asked questions

Are all of these compounds peptides?

No. MOTS-C, SS-31, glutathione and AOD9604 are peptides. NAD+ is a coenzyme, 5-Amino-1MQ and SLU-PP-332 are small molecules, and L-carnitine is an amino acid derivative.

What makes MOTS-C unusual?

It is encoded in the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear genome, one of a small group of mitochondrial-derived peptides.

How are these compounds supplied?

As lyophilized powder at 99%+ purity, verified by independent HPLC and mass spectrometry, for laboratory research use only.
