SS-31 30mg

Description

SS-31 (Elamipretide) Peptide Overview

SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide from the Szeto-Schiller family of peptides. It is one of the most studied compounds in mitochondrial-bioenergetics research due to its selective localization to the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Cardiolipin Binding

SS-31 selectively binds cardiolipin, a phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane. This interaction is studied for stabilizing the structure of mitochondrial cristae and supporting the efficiency of the electron-transport chain.

Reduces Reactive Oxygen Species

By protecting cardiolipin and improving electron-transport integrity, SS-31 is studied for reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and limiting oxidative stress in research models.

Bioenergetics and Cellular Protection

Research on SS-31 focuses on preserving ATP production and protecting cells with high energy demand, making it a key tool in mitochondrial and age-related research.
