Research overview
SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2) from the Szeto-Schiller family that enters cells and concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane. There it binds cardiolipin, the phospholipid that shapes the cristae where energy is produced.
By binding cardiolipin, SS-31 prevents cytochrome c from turning into a membrane-damaging peroxidase while keeping its electron-carrying role. It has been studied in ischaemia models and in Barth syndrome, a rare genetic cardiolipin disorder. Typical readouts in cell work are membrane potential, oxygen consumption and ATP levels. See MOTS-c and SS-31.

Questions
Is SS-31 the same as elamipretide?
Yes. Elamipretide is its clinical development name.
What does SS-31 bind to?
Cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
What's in the vial?
SS-31 (elamipretide) at the strength you choose. No diluent or accessories are included.
Can I check the lab report for my vial?
Yes. The batch number on your vial matches a report on this page or in our lab report library, with a link to verify it on the lab's website where available.
Is this product for human use?
No. It's sold for laboratory research use only and isn't for human or veterinary use.
