SS-31 | Mitochondria-Targeted Tetrapeptide | Research Grade

SS-31 (also known as elamipretide) is a synthetic, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide. PerformanceLabsUK supplies it strictly as a research reference material for in vitro laboratory investigation. Researchers must not use SS-31 for human or veterinary purposes.

Areas of Research Interest

• Researchers study it for selective concentration at the inner mitochondrial membrane through electrostatic and hydrophobic cardiolipin interactions.
• Scientists examine its potential to stabilise cristae architecture and preserve electron transport chain function under oxidative stress.
• Cardiovascular biology also shows strong interest in this peptide, particularly its influence on cardiomyocyte energy production in ischaemia-related models.
• Additionally, age-related research explores it, given the central role of mitochondrial decline in cellular senescence and muscle wasting.
• Investigators study its reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondrial dysfunction research models.

Primary Research Areas: Mitochondrial Function | Oxidative Stress | Cardiovascular Biology | Cellular Energy | Senescence Research
