01Product details
Overview
SS-31, also called Elamipretide or MTP-131, is a small tetrapeptide engineered to selectively concentrate in the inner mitochondrial membrane through interaction with cardiolipin. It is part of the Szeto-Schiller (SS) peptide series.
Research Background
SS-31 has been studied in research on mitochondrial dysfunction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, neurodegeneration, and age-related decline in mitochondrial bioenergetics.
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within recommended timeframes. Handle under sterile laboratory conditions and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Disclaimer:
This product is for laboratory research use only. It is not intended for human or animal consumption or for use in any diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
02Mechanism of action
SS-31 binds with high affinity to cardiolipin, a phospholipid uniquely concentrated in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This interaction stabilizes cardiolipin-cytochrome c associations, preserves the structure of mitochondrial cristae, supports electron transport chain efficiency, and reduces excessive reactive oxygen species generation. Net effects in research models include preserved ATP production and reduced mitochondrial membrane permeabilization.
03Research applications
SS-31 is studied in research on mitochondrial dysfunction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure models, neurodegeneration, and aging biology. It is a reference compound in cardiolipin-directed mitochondrial peptide research.
