SS-31 / Elamipretide Research Peptide — 5mg Lyophilized
SS-31 (Szeto-Schiller peptide 31), also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131, is a synthetic tetrapeptide (D-Arg-2′6′-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂) that selectively targets the inner mitochondrial membrane by binding to cardiolipin. With a molecular weight of 639.84 Da, SS-31 has been extensively studied in preclinical models for its mitochondrial protective effects, particularly in models of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, and oxidative stress.
SS-31 is a highly validated research tool in mitochondrial biology, cardioprotection research, and geroscience. Its mechanism of improving electron transport chain efficiency has been documented in numerous published studies.
