SS-31 10mg

Description

Disclaimer:
For research use only. Not for human consumption. Intended solely for laboratory-based investigation by qualified professionals.

Overview:
SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide studied for its potential to protect and restore mitochondrial function. It has attracted significant research interest for its ability to stabilize mitochondrial membranes, reduce oxidative stress, and improve cellular bioenergetics in models of aging, metabolic dysfunction, and tissue injury.

Mechanism of Action:
SS-31 selectively binds to cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in the inner mitochondrial membrane that is essential for maintaining mitochondrial integrity and energy production. By stabilizing cardiolipin and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, SS-31 helps preserve ATP synthesis efficiency and mitigate oxidative damage.

Research Highlights:

• Demonstrated improvements in mitochondrial respiration and ATP generation in preclinical studies.
• Shown to reduce oxidative stress and cellular apoptosis in models of ischemia and neurodegeneration.
• Investigated for potential applications in metabolic, cardiovascular, and age-related research.
• Represents a unique mitochondrial-protective approach distinct from traditional antioxidants.

Specifications:
Form: Lyophilized powder or capsules (research-grade)
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC-tested)
Storage: Store refrigerated (2–8 °C) in a dry, light-protected container.
