Description

SS-31 (Elamipretide) – Lyophilized Peptide – For Research Use Only

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic, cell-permeable peptide developed for research into mitochondrial function and cellular energy regulation. It was originally discovered by Dr. Hazel Szeto and Dr. Peter Schiller and has since become a key subject in studies focused on mitochondrial integrity and oxidative stress.

SS-31 is designed to selectively target the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds to cardiolipin — a phospholipid essential for maintaining mitochondrial structure and function. In research models, this interaction has been associated with improved mitochondrial efficiency and protection against oxidative damage.

At the molecular level, SS-31 has been studied for its potential to stabilize mitochondrial membranes, reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS), and support ATP production. These mechanisms make it particularly relevant in investigations related to cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial health.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is widely studied as a contributing factor in cellular aging and various degenerative processes. As such, SS-31 has gained attention in research exploring the relationship between mitochondrial performance, oxidative stress, and long-term cellular stability.
