MOTS-c + SS-31 Research Stack
Research compounds — not for human consumption
Mitochondrial Research Stack — MOTS-c + SS-31
Both compounds supplied together as a single research stack — priced below buying each separately.
Overview
MOTS-c, a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region, and SS-31 (elamipretide), a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide with affinity for cardiolipin, are studied together as a mitochondrial-function research pairing. The two act at different points in mitochondrial biology.

Areas of Combined Research Interest
MOTS-c research examines mitochondrial-to-nuclear signaling, AMPK activation, and metabolic-stress endpoints in cell and animal models. SS-31 research centers on the inner mitochondrial membrane, its interaction with cardiolipin, and the preservation of electron-transport efficiency under stress conditions. Because one compound is studied primarily as a signaling peptide influencing metabolic regulation and the other as a membrane-targeting agent, research interest in the combination lies in examining complementary aspects of mitochondrial bioenergetics within the same model system. Direct combination data is limited.
Storage & Handling
Both compounds are typically supplied as lyophilized powder and, in research settings, are stored sealed and protected from light, with reconstituted solutions kept refrigerated. Handle per standard laboratory practice.
