SS-31 / Mots-C

SS-31/MOTS-c Blend: Research Use Only

Product Overview

The SS-31/MOTS-c Blend combines two synthetic research peptides associated with mitochondrial biology. SS-31 is an aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide studied for its interactions with cardiolipin and mitochondrial membranes. MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide investigated in cellular communication, metabolic signaling, and stress-response pathways.

This formulation is intended for controlled studies examining the individual and combined analytical characteristics of these peptides, including identity, stability, compatibility, and mitochondrial-associated signaling.

Because this product is a mixture, it does not have one molecular formula or molecular weight. Each component retains its individual chemical identity. The exact peptide quantities, sequences, counterions, and salt forms should be verified against the batch-specific COA.

Scientific Background

SS-31 has been investigated for its ability to associate with cardiolipin, a phospholipid concentrated within the inner mitochondrial membrane. Laboratory research examines how this interaction relates to membrane organization, electron-transport processes, and oxidative signaling.

MOTS-c is encoded within mitochondrial DNA and is studied as a signaling peptide involved in communication between mitochondria and the rest of the cell. Experimental research has examined its relationship with AMPK-associated signaling, cellular energetics, metabolic regulation, and adaptive stress responses.

Research involving the combined formulation may evaluate compatibility or pathway interactions between two chemically distinct mitochondrial-associated peptides. It should not be assumed that combining the compounds produces additive or synergistic activity without supporting experimental evidence.

Research Applications

The SS-31/MOTS-c Blend may be studied in controlled laboratory settings involving:

• Peptide identity and purity analysis
• Blend compatibility and stability testing
• Mitochondrial membrane and cardiolipin research
• Cellular bioenergetics investigations
• Oxidative and metabolic signaling models
• Mitochondrial communication pathways
• Comparative and combined-pathway studies
