Cellular & Metabolic Compounds

Compounds studied in vitro for their activity in energy metabolism: the NAD+ cycle, mitochondrial function, and the enzymes that regulate both. Grouped by pathway rather than by chemistry, because not everything in the category is a peptide.

NAD+ is the coenzyme that carries electrons through central energy metabolism and the substrate the sirtuin and PARP enzyme families consume. MOTS-C is a mitochondrially encoded peptide studied in AMPK-activation and nuclear-translocation assays. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, studied for its effect on the NAD+/SAM balance in adipocyte culture.

Methylene Blue is the outlier here: a phenothiazine dye rather than a peptide, long used as a redox indicator and biological stain, and studied as an electron shuttle in mitochondrial preparations.

Formats differ across the category, so storage and reconstitution are specified per item on its own page rather than by one rule for the group. Every item ships with an independent batch certificate of analysis.
