SS-31

Product Description SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic, mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that selectively accumulates in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Supplied as ≥98% pure lyophilized powder (HPLC/MS verified), it is designed for laboratory studies on mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, cellular energy production, and age-related decline.

Key Research Mechanism SS-31 binds with high affinity to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing cristae structure, optimizing electron transport chain efficiency, reducing mitochondrial ROS production, and enhancing ATP synthesis while preventing permeability transition pore opening.

Primary Research Areas

• Mitochondrial dysfunction and bioenergetics in aging and disease models
• Oxidative stress reduction and cardioprotection studies
• Neuroprotection and neurodegenerative disease research
• Kidney protection, muscle function, and ischemia-reperfusion injury models
