Product Overview
SS31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide designed to support cellular energy efficiency, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance mitochondrial integrity. It interacts directly with cardiolipin, a unique phospholipid within the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping to stabilize electron transport and minimize reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Our research-grade SS31 offers exceptional purity and stability, providing scientists with a consistent and reliable foundation for studies focused on mitochondrial protection, cellular resilience, and metabolic health.
