SS-31 10mg – Research Use Only

For research use only. Not for human consumption. Not for veterinary use. Not a medicinal product.

SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide that has been investigated extensively in scientific research relating to mitochondrial biology, peptide chemistry and cellular signalling. The compound belongs to the Szeto-Schiller family of peptides and has attracted research interest because of its reported association with cardiolipin, a phospholipid located within the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Product Overview

SS-31 is supplied as a research compound for suitably qualified researchers conducting controlled laboratory investigations. Scientific literature has examined its molecular structure, membrane interactions and behaviour within experimental mitochondrial systems. The peptide has been investigated in both laboratory and preclinical research, providing researchers with a defined compound for studying mitochondrial-associated biochemical processes.

The peptide consists of four amino-acid residues and is commonly identified by the sequence D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂, where Dmt refers to 2′,6′-dimethyltyrosine. Its distinctive aromatic and cationic structure has been an important focus of research examining how the compound interacts with biological membranes and cardiolipin-containing systems.

Published research has investigated the interaction between SS-31 and cardiolipin, alongside studies examining mitochondrial membrane properties, cellular signalling and related biochemical mechanisms. These findings describe specific experimental observations and should not be interpreted as evidence of suitability, efficacy or safety for human or veterinary use.

This product is supplied solely as a research material. It is not supplied as a food, food supplement, cosmetic, medicine, veterinary medicine or therapeutic product. No claims are made that SS-31 can diagnose, treat, cure, prevent or alleviate any disease, illness or medical condition.

Research Applications

For suitably qualified researchers, SS-31 may be of interest in areas including peptide chemistry, analytical chemistry, membrane biology, mitochondrial research and biochemical investigation. Potential laboratory applications may include peptide identification, analytical characterisation, membrane-interaction studies, stability assessment and controlled investigations involving cardiolipin-associated pathways.

Researchers should independently determine whether the material is appropriate for their intended experimental application. Appropriate laboratory procedures, validated analytical methods, suitable protective equipment and relevant safety controls should be used when handling research compounds.

No instructions for administration, dosage, injection, reconstitution or personal use are provided with this product. It is intended exclusively for legitimate laboratory research conducted by appropriately qualified personnel and within suitable controlled laboratory environments.
