Peptide Class: Mitochondria-Targeting Peptide / Antioxidant Peptide
OVERVIEW
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide composed of four amino acids. It is designed to selectively target the inner membrane of mitochondria, where it may help support cellular energy production and mitochondrial stability.
In research settings, SS-31 is commonly studied for its potential ability to protect mitochondria from oxidative stress and cellular damage. Because mitochondria play a critical role in energy production and cellular health, SS-31 has gained interest in studies related to aging, metabolic function, muscle performance, and neuroprotection.
Researchers frequently investigate SS-31 in models examining mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular energy regulation.
POTENTIAL RESEARCH BENEFITS
SS-31 is commonly studied for its potential role in:
Mitochondrial Protection
Investigated for its ability to help stabilize mitochondrial membranes and function.
Cellular Energy Production
Studied for its potential influence on ATP production and mitochondrial efficiency.
Oxidative Stress Reduction
May help reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated within mitochondria.
Muscle & Endureance Research
Examined in models related to muscle performance and fatigue.
Aging & Longevity Studies
Frequently studied in research involving mitochondrial decline associated with aging.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
SS-31 is designed to selectively target cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Research suggests it may:
Bind to cardiolipin in mitochondrial membranes
Help stabilize mitochondrial structure and function
Reduce oxidative stress within mitochondria
Support efficient cellular energy production
Because of these effects, SS-31 is often studied in mitochondrial biology and metabolic research.

STORAGE:
To maintain product stability and quality:
Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term storage.
Short-term storage may be maintained at 2–8°C (refrigerated).
Keep the vial dry, sealed, and protected from light.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, as this may reduce peptide stability.
Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within a short timeframe according to laboratory protocols.
For Research Use Only
Not intended for human consumption, medical, or veterinary use.
