SS-31
Mitochondria-targeted peptide researched for cardiolipin protection and cellular bioenergetics.
Testing & quality
Every batch is supplier-tested for identity and purity and randomly verified by independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry.
Compound classification
Synthetic cell-permeable tetrapeptide (Szeto-Schiller class), also known as Elamipretide / MTP-131.
Mechanism studied in the literature
Selectively binds cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing cristae structure and electron transport chain efficiency in preclinical studies.
