Peptides from ageing and mitochondrial function research, including MOTS-c and NAD-related compounds.
Ageing research with peptides and coenzymes concentrates on a small number of recurring themes: mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and the enzymes regulating both. NAD+ is the clearest example — not a peptide, but a coenzyme serving as substrate for the sirtuins and PARPs.
MOTS-c belongs in the same category for a different reason: it is encoded by the mitochondrial genome rather than the nucleus, placing it among the mitochondrial-derived peptides. That makes it one of the few molecules through which communication between mitochondria and nucleus can be studied directly.
What these molecules share is that the observations the field rests on — concentrations declining with age — are settled, while what follows from them is the subject of ongoing work.
The same applies to every peptide in this category: the documentation decides whether the material is usable.
