SS-31 – 10mg
$45.00
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a first-in-class, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide designed to investigate the restoration of cellular bioenergetics. Unlike traditional antioxidants, SS-31 selectively binds to cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing mitochondrial cristae and reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This 10mg vial is an essential tool for researchers studying aging, neurodegeneration, and metabolic dysfunction. Every batch is vacuum-sealed and guaranteed at 99% purity for high-precision experimental modeling.

Description
Overview of SS-31
SS-31 (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2) is a small, water-soluble peptide that represents a breakthrough in mitochondrial pharmacology. Its unique structure allows it to cross the cell membrane and localize specifically within the mitochondria, independent of the mitochondrial membrane potential.
The primary mechanism of SS-31 involves its high affinity for cardiolipin, a phospholipid essential for the structural integrity of the inner mitochondrial membrane. By preventing the peroxidation of cardiolipin, SS-31 helps maintain the architecture of the electron transport chain, thereby optimizing ATP production and significantly lowering oxidative stress at the source.
