For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Description
SS-31 30mg peptide is a synthetic mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide, also known as elamipretide, studied for its interaction with cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Published research describes SS-31 as a small aromatic-cationic peptide that concentrates in mitochondria and is used in laboratory models to investigate mitochondrial structure, membrane stability, bioenergetics, and oxidative-stress-related cellular dysfunction. Because cardiolipin is central to cristae organization and electron transport chain efficiency, SS-31 remains an important research compound in studies of mitochondrial integrity and energy metabolism.

Research interest in SS-31 30mg peptide centers on its ability to associate with cardiolipin and modulate mitochondrial function in experimental systems. Mechanistic studies have shown that SS-31 interacts with proteins involved in ATP production and 2-oxoglutarate metabolism, supporting its use in pathway-focused mitochondrial research. Review literature also describes SS-31 as a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that stabilizes cardiolipin, helps preserve cristae structure, and is studied for effects on oxidative stress and ATP generation in preclinical models (Chavez et al., 2020 — PNAS).
Current research applications for SS-31 30mg peptide include mitochondrial dysfunction models, redox biology studies, cellular bioenergetics experiments, and comparative peptide investigations involving aging-related and high-energy-demand tissues. Experimental work in aged animal models has linked SS-31 with improved mitochondrial energetics and exercise-related functional outcomes, while broader structure-activity literature places it within the class of mitochondria-targeted aromatic-cationic tetrapeptides studied for membrane-associated bioenergetic regulation. Because the strongest public evidence is mechanistic and preclinical, a conservative research-focused description is the most credible way to position SS-31 on this product page (Chiao et al., 2020 — eLife).
The peptide is supplied as a lyophilized powder to ensure optimal stability during storage and handling. COA included with every order. See also: MOTS-c, NAD+, AOD-9604
