SS-31

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131) is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed to selectively target and protect mitochondria.

It binds with high affinity to cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping to reduce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), optimize electron transport chain function, maintain cristae structure, and support ATP production. In research models, SS-31 is studied for its potential to mitigate oxidative stress, improve cellular energy metabolism, and protect against mitochondrial dysfunction.

Key Research Areas

• Mitochondrial bioenergetics and oxidative stress
• Age-related decline and cellular health
• Neuroprotection and cognitive models
• Cardiac, kidney, and muscle function in disease models
• Ischemia-reperfusion injury and metabolic disorders

As a research chemical, SS-31 is provided strictly for in vitro and non-human laboratory research use only — not for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic purposes.
