Cellular and Longevity Compounds
A coenzyme, a mitochondrially targeted peptide, and a redox dye.
About Cellular and Longevity Compounds
What is on this shelf?
| Compound | What it is | Sizes here |
|---|---|---|
| NAD+ | Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. A coenzyme, not a peptide | 500mg vial |
| SS-31 | Mitochondrially targeted peptide, also listed as elamipretide | 10mg, 50mg vial |
| Methylene Blue | Synthetic redox-cycling dye | 10mg vial |
What is NAD+?
Two nucleotides joined, with no amino acids in it at all. At 500mg the vial is the largest single quantity in the range and carries the lowest rate per milligram.
How should methylene blue be stored?
Very sensitive to light, so keep it in the dark.
Cellular & Longevity questions
Is NAD+ a peptide?
It is not. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a coenzyme made of two nucleotides, and there is no peptide bond in it.
What is the difference between NAD+ and NMN?
NAD+ is the coenzyme itself. NMN sits earlier on the same pathway as its precursor, which makes it a separate molecule. Only NAD+ is stocked here.
What else is SS-31 called?
Four labels from four points in its history. SS-31 was the bench name, out of the Szeto-Schiller peptide series. Elamipretide became the non-proprietary name. MTP-131 belonged to the development programme and Bendavia to the trials. Every one of them refers to this same tetrapeptide.
