SS-31 10mg – 3ml Vial
(Elamipretide Research Peptide)
Product Overview
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide designed to selectively target mitochondrial membranes in laboratory research systems. It is classified as a mitochondria-directed peptide and is widely studied in controlled in-vitro models for its interaction with cardiolipin and mitochondrial structural integrity mechanisms.
In controlled research environments, SS-31 is commonly utilised to investigate:
- Mitochondrial membrane stabilisation mechanisms
- Cardiolipin–peptide interaction models
- Electron transport chain function
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulation research
- Cellular bioenergetics and ATP production pathways
- Mitochondrial signalling and structural integrity studies
Due to its aromatic-cationic structure, SS-31 demonstrates targeted mitochondrial membrane affinity in experimental systems.
Supplied in lyophilised form to preserve peptide stability and analytical integrity prior to reconstitution.
