SS-31: A Research Peptide Overview

SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted research peptide studied in cellular-energy and mitochondrial research. This overview explains what it is, the pathways it's associated with, and how to source it.

What is SS-31?

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide in research literature) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide. It is studied for its selective association with the inner mitochondrial membrane and the lipid cardiolipin.

Research pathways

  • Mitochondrial-membrane and cardiolipin research.
  • Cellular-energy and oxidative-stress research models.
  • Mitochondrial-function research alongside compounds like MOTS-c.

Formats & products

SS-31 is supplied in lyophilized and pre-reconstituted activated forms: SS-31 (10mg). It sits within the Anti-Aging & Longevity collection alongside MOTS-c and NAD+.
