Longevity and skin research peptides
Copper peptides, mitochondrial-derived peptides and NAD+ precursors studied in cellular ageing, matrix remodelling and bioenergetics. The category spans genuinely different chemistry: GHK-Cu is a copper complex, MOTS-c and humanin are encoded in the mitochondrial genome, and NAD+ is a cofactor rather than a peptide at all.

What makes a peptide mitochondrial-derived?
It is encoded within the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear one. MOTS-c and humanin are the two best-described examples, and they come from different regions and signal through different pathways.
Why is GHK-Cu supplied as a copper complex?
The copper is part of the molecule as it is studied — the tripeptide binds Cu(II) with high affinity and the complex is what appears in the remodelling literature. Note it in a methods section, because copper is not inert in most assay systems.
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. It is a dinucleotide cofactor. It is catalogued here because it appears in the same sirtuin and mitochondrial research as the peptides around it.
Where can I read more about these compounds?
Common questions about longevity & skin
How is NAD+ handled differently?
It is more sensitive to moisture and to repeated temperature cycling than the peptides here. Keep it sealed and cold, and prepare working solutions fresh.
What is 5-Amino-1MQ doing in a peptide catalogue?
It is an NNMT inhibitor and a small molecule, not a peptide. It sits here because it shares the adipocyte and NAD+ salvage research context.
Are these for human use?
No. Sold for in-vitro laboratory research only.
Every product in this category is sold for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not for human or animal consumption, diagnostic or therapeutic use.
