SS-31 — Powder

SS-31 (Elamipretide) Lyophilized Powder – Vial – Research Use Only

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide designed to penetrate cell membranes and selectively accumulate in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial and is extensively studied for its ability to protect mitochondrial function and reduce oxidative damage.

In laboratory settings, researchers examine how SS-31 interacts with cardiolipin in the mitochondrial membrane to stabilize electron transport chain complexes, reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and improve mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Researchers commonly study SS-31 (Elamipretide) to explore its potential involvement in:

• Mitochondrial protection and bioenergetic efficiency
• Reduction of oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS)
• Cardiolipin stabilization in the inner mitochondrial membrane
• Cellular energy production (ATP synthesis) pathways
• Neuroprotection and muscle cell mitochondrial function
• Ischemia-reperfusion injury and tissue damage models
• Age-related mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic disorders
• Inflammatory and oxidative stress-related signaling pathways

As a mitochondria-penetrating peptide, SS-31 serves as a valuable research tool for investigating mitochondrial medicine, oxidative stress biology, and cellular energy regulation in controlled laboratory environments.
