SS-31 10 mg

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide, MTP-131, or Bendavia) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide developed to explore mitochondrial bioenergetics, antioxidant defense, and cellular resilience in laboratory research settings. It’s used as a high-purity peptide tool for investigating mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and energy metabolism in cell and animal models.  

Mechanism of Action

• Mitochondrial Targeting: SS-31’s unique structure allows mitochondrial penetration and concentration at the inner membrane.  
• Cardiolipin Binding: By directly interacting with cardiolipin, SS-31 helps maintain membrane integrity and supports respiratory chain complex stability.  
• Oxidative Stress Reduction: It functions as a targeted antioxidant at the source of ROS generation, helping preserve ATP production and prevent oxidative damage.  
• Bioenergetic Enhancement: Research shows SS-31 can improve mitochondrial respiration efficiency and ATP synthesis in models of dysfunction.
