Peptide Family

Mitochondrial / Longevity Peptides

Mitochondria-derived or longevity-oriented peptides.

Evidence maturity across this family: Experimental.

Class membership is not evidence

"Mitochondrial" and "longevity" are mechanisms/aspirations, not proven human benefits. Do not assume administering a peptide reproduces exercise.

Records in this family

Experimental
MOTS-c
Mitochondrial-derived Peptide (research chemical)
MOTS-c is a scientifically fascinating 'exercise-linked' mitochondrial peptide with strong mouse data and human observational signals, but there are no trials of administering native MOTS-c to people, and it is an unapproved, experimental compound.

On the roadmap

Humanin
SS-31 / Elamipretide
Epitalon
