Is NAD+ a mitochondrial peptide?

No. NAD+ on this shelf is a redox cofactor with its own product URL. A MOTS-c certificate does not document NAD+, and an NAD+ label does not document MOTS-c.

Mitochondrial peptide, laboratory class

Mitochondrial peptide is a class name, not one sequence. It covers peptides encoded by short open reading frames in mitochondrial DNA, such as MOTS-c, and synthetic sequences designed to associate with mitochondrial membranes, such as SS-31. It does not cover every SKU on the mitochondrial category route. NAD+ is a redox cofactor. AICAR is an AMPK-pathway reagent. Kisspeptin, vitamin B12, and L-carnitine are filed on that route for catalogue taxonomy and are not mitochondrial open-reading-frame peptides.

For the class mechanism page, see mitochondrial peptides. Compound notes already exist for MOTS-c and SS-31. Use the note that matches the vial.
