Mitochondrial & metabolic signalling
Energy Peptides in Canada
2 compounds in stock
This category covers compounds studied around mitochondrial function and substrate metabolism rather than a hormonal axis. It is deliberately small: two compounds with genuinely distinct mechanisms, both active areas of research into cellular energy handling. Priced and shipped in CAD, for laboratory and research use only.

Mitochondrial-derived peptides
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than the nuclear genome — one of a small set of mitochondrial-derived peptides identified in the last two decades. Research interest centres on AMPK signalling and metabolic regulation. Because it sits at the intersection of energy and ageing research, it is often compared against longevity compounds — see Epithalon vs MOTS-c.
SLU-PP-332 is not a peptide
Worth stating plainly: SLU-PP-332 is a small-molecule oestrogen-related receptor (ERR) agonist, not a peptide. It sits in this category because the research context — mitochondrial biogenesis and exercise-mimetic signalling — is the same. It handles differently from a lyophilized peptide, so read the compound page before planning storage.
Where this category overlaps
Energy and metabolic research overlap heavily, and the boundary here is mechanism: incretin and GHRH compounds sit under metabolic, while this category is limited to compounds acting on mitochondrial and receptor-level energy signalling. NAD+ sits under longevity for the same reason.

Energy peptides FAQ
- What are mitochondrial peptides?
- Mitochondrial-derived peptides are short sequences encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than the nuclear genome. MOTS-c is the best-studied example, investigated in research contexts around AMPK signalling and metabolic regulation.
- Is SLU-PP-332 a peptide?
- No. SLU-PP-332 is a small-molecule ERR (oestrogen-related receptor) agonist. It is stocked in this category because the research context — mitochondrial biogenesis and exercise-mimetic signalling — is shared with MOTS-c, but it is chemically a different class and handles differently.
- Can I buy MOTS-c in Canada?
- Yes. Research-grade MOTS-c 10 mg is available from Canada Peptides, priced in CAD and shipped within Canada, for laboratory and research use only.
- How is this different from the metabolic category?
- The split is by mechanism. Metabolic covers incretin receptor agonists (GLP-1, GIP, glucagon) and GHRH analogues. This category is limited to compounds studied at the mitochondrial and receptor-signalling level of energy metabolism.
