SS-31 (Elamipretide) 10mg
10mgA mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide studied for cellular repair and antioxidant support at the level of the mitochondrial membrane.
Overview
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that concentrates on the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it interacts with the phospholipid cardiolipin.
This product is supplied as 10mg of lyophilised powder for laboratory reconstitution and research use only.
Mechanism of action
SS-31 binds cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping stabilise membrane structure and protect the electron transport chain from oxidative damage.
By preserving mitochondrial efficiency, research describes reduced production of reactive oxygen species and improved cellular energy output.
Research highlights
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a leading reference compound in mitochondrial medicine research, studied across cardiac, muscle, and age-related mitochondrial dysfunction models.
Its cardiolipin-targeting mechanism is well characterised in the mitochondrial literature.
Reference dosing
Research protocols often use subcutaneous administration for cellular repair and antioxidant studies. This reflects published research protocols only.
Storage & handling
Store lyophilised vials refrigerated at 2-8C, protected from light. Keep reconstituted solution refrigerated and use per protocol.
