Amino acid sequenceD-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2
Molecular formulaC32H49N9O5
Molecular weight639.79 g/mol
CAS number736992-21-5
SolubilitySoluble in water.
Reported half-lifeShort in circulation, but the peptide concentrates in mitochondria, so tissue residence differs markedly from plasma kinetics.

International orders have a 3-vial minimum per product. Case pricing shown is international; US warehouse case pricing may differ and is shown at checkout.

Background

An aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide developed by Szeto and Schiller that selectively associates with cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its alternating aromatic/cationic motif allows cell penetration without a transporter.
