This research material is a synthetic, mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide compound supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory use. Its compact four-amino-acid structure and distinctive charge profile have made it a compound of interest in studies examining the inner mitochondrial membrane and related cellular processes. This item is provided strictly as a research compound for in-vitro and laboratory investigational purposes.
Laboratory investigations involving this tetrapeptide have explored its interaction with cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, as part of broader efforts to understand mitochondrial membrane organization. Research has also examined models of cellular energy regulation, oxidative stress and free-radical activity, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Additional investigational interest has extended to models of age-related cellular decline, with findings from these lines of research remaining experimental and not indicative of established outcomes in humans or animals.
This compound is composed of a four-amino-acid sequence: D-Arg–2′,6′-dimethyltyrosine–Lys–Phe-NH₂. Its structural characteristics, including its charge distribution and compact size, have been investigated for their apparent role in selective localization at the inner mitochondrial membrane without reliance on additional carrier molecules, a feature that continues to be studied at the mechanistic level.
