Mitochondrial peptides as a research class

Research-use notice: This article is laboratory and educational information only. It is not medical or legal advice, and it does not include how-to-use instructions. BlueNex Labs materials are research use only and are not intended for human or veterinary use. Research-use-only labelling is not a Health Canada authorization.

This page is the class map for materials filed on the mitochondrial shelf. It is not the MOTS-c monograph. Reviews name Humanin, MOTS-c, and small Humanin-like peptides (SHLPs) as mitochondrial-derived sequences encoded in mitochondrial open reading frames. Humanin and SHLPs are not catalogue SKUs here. A review naming them does not make them catalogue products.

MOTS-c on this site is the 16-residue sequence reported by Lee and colleagues (PMID 25738459). For the sequence and lot note, see the MOTS-c laboratory note. For the shorter compound guide, see What is MOTS-c?. For the fills, see MOTS-c 10 mg and MOTS-c 40 mg. Those fills do not share one certificate.

SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide, not an mtORF peptide. For the fills, see SS-31 10 mg and SS-31 50 mg. Its note is What is SS-31?. The published lot report covers the 10 mg sample; see the SS-31 10 mg certificate. It does not document the 50 mg vial. NAD+ is a redox cofactor, separated from consumer IV marketing in NAD+ in energy-metabolism research. AICAR is a nucleoside reagent with its own laboratory note. Epithalon is a separate tetrapeptide on its own note. L-carnitine, vitamin B12, and kisspeptin can share the mitochondrial category because of catalogue taxonomy. They are not mtORF peptides.

What the class of papers asks

Reviews of mitochondrial-derived peptides discuss AMPK-related signalling, oxidative-stress markers, and metabolic readouts in cells or animals. MOTS-c papers are often exercise-physiology or glucose-handling models. Humanin papers are often neuroprotection-style assays. Those findings stay in the model that measured them. They do not authorize a clinic offering on this site, and they do not collapse the catalogue notes above into one page.

Documentation

Use the COA library for lots that have Janoshik links. Match the milligrams on the label to the milligrams on the PDF. Canada-only Interac checkout applies. A class map is not a lot file.

Catalogue cross-reference

Open MOTS-c 10 mg, MOTS-c 40 mg, SS-31 10 mg, or SS-31 50 mg only when the assay names that material. The 10 mg SS-31 lot file does not document the 50 mg vial.

Orders ship inside Canada only after Interac e-Transfer checkout. Sold-out SKUs remain listed and cannot be added to the cart. Match each vial to its own Certificate of Analysis when a lot is published. Research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
