Cellular and Mitochondrial Research

Mitochondrial research peptides are studied for their role in cellular bioenergetics — the pathways by which cells generate, allocate, and regulate chemical energy. This category covers mitochondrial-derived peptides encoded within the mitochondrial genome itself, along with synthetic peptides characterized for their affinity to inner-membrane phospholipids. Compounds in this group are frequently examined in published in-vitro and animal literature in the context of AMPK signaling, cardiolipin binding, oxidative-phosphorylation efficiency, and mitochondrial membrane integrity. MOTS-c, a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region, and SS-31 (elamipretide), a cell-permeable tetrapeptide with cardiolipin affinity, are the two most extensively characterized examples. Every lot listed here ships with a batch-specific certificate of analysis documenting identity by mass spectrometry and purity by HPLC-UV. Lot numbers on the vial label match the COA on file, and all historical COAs remain accessible in the COA Library. All products in this category are supplied strictly for laboratory research use. They are not drugs, not dietary supplements, and are not for human or veterinary use.
