SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed with an alternating cationic–aromatic motif that allows it to accumulate in the inner mitochondrial membrane independently of membrane potential. It is widely researched for its selective association with cardiolipin, the signature phospholipid of the inner membrane, and the downstream effects this has on cristae architecture and electron transport chain efficiency. As a result, SS-31 serves as a reference compound in studies of mitochondrial bioenergetics, oxidative stress, and age-related mitochondrial decline. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder for reproducible in-vitro and approved in-vivo work. This product is for laboratory research and development purposes only and must be handled by qualified professionals. Not for human, therapeutic, or diagnostic use.
Cardiolipin Binding
Selectively associates with cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane — a targeted tool for probing membrane-lipid interactions.
Electron Transport Efficiency
Investigated for its effect on respiratory-chain supercomplex organization and ATP-generating capacity in isolated mitochondria.
Oxidative Stress Models
Used as a reference peptide in studies of reactive oxygen species generation and mitochondrial redox balance.
Potential-Independent Uptake
Accumulates in the inner membrane without depending on membrane potential, unlike conventional cationic mitochondrial probes.
Cristae Structure Research
Studied for its influence on cristae curvature and membrane organization in models of age-related mitochondrial decline.
≥99% HPLC Purity
Every batch is HPLC-verified and supplied lyophilized, ensuring reproducible results across long study timelines.
