About mitochondrial research compounds
The compounds in this category are studied in preclinical and in vitro models of mitochondrial function and cellular energy. MOTS-c is a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA and studied in AMPK and metabolic signaling models. SS-31 (elamipretide) is a tetrapeptide that associates with cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule NNMT inhibitor used in NAD+ salvage and metabolic studies. Findings to date are preclinical. For background, read the mitochondrial peptide research overview, then plan concentrations with the peptide reconstitution calculator.

MOTS-c and SS-31 are also sold together with NAD+ in the mitochondrial research stack, a multi vial bundle for comparative bench work. NAD+ is also available on its own in the NAD+ category.
Mitochondrial and Longevity Research Compounds FAQ
- What is the difference between MOTS-c and SS-31?
- They are different molecules with different mitochondrial targets. MOTS-c is a mitochondria derived peptide studied in metabolic signaling models, while SS-31 (elamipretide) is a tetrapeptide that associates with cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane. See the MOTS-c compound profile and the SS-31 compound profile.
- Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
- No. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), not a peptide. See the 5-Amino-1MQ compound profile.
- Are these products for human use?
- No. These products are sold for research use only to buyers 18 or older and are not for human or veterinary use.
