SS-31 50mg

SS-31 50mg – A Mitochondrial Targeted Peptide for Research

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a small, water-soluble peptide that targets the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is a significant research compound used to study mitochondrial dysfunction and its role in various diseases.

Composition and Function

SS-31 is a tetrapeptide that selectively binds to cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This binding stabilizes the mitochondrial membrane, reduces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and enhances oxidative phosphorylation. By protecting mitochondria, SS-31 helps maintain cellular energy production and reduces oxidative stress.

Research Applications

SS-31 is used in research to study mitochondrial disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and the aging process. Its ability to protect and enhance mitochondrial function makes it a valuable tool for understanding the pathophysiology of these conditions.

Storage and Handling

Store SS-31 in a lyophilized state at -20°C, protected from light. After reconstitution, keep it at 4°C and use it promptly. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
