Mitochondria-Targeted Peptides and Cofactors

This category collects compounds whose characterized molecular target sits in the mitochondrion. SS-31 (elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide, D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2, characterized by binding to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. MOTS-c is a 16-residue mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 12S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA.

NAD+ is not a peptide; it is the dinucleotide coenzyme central to mitochondrial redox chemistry, and is grouped here by target rather than by molecular class. Every compound we supply is independently tested for purity and identity, with certificates published on the product page as testing is completed. For Research Use Only.
