SS-31 (10mg)

1. PRODUCT SUMMARY

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a cell-permeable, mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that selectively associates with cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. In experimental research, SS-31 serves as a high-precision tool for investigating mitochondrial bioenergetics and cellular resilience. By stabilizing the mitochondrial cristae and enhancing electron transport chain efficiency, this compound is vital for studies involving oxidative stress modulation and the prevention of mitochondrial dysfunction in various disease models.

2. STORAGE & HANDLING PROTOCOL

Lyophilized State: Store at 2–8°C (36–46°F). Keep desiccated and protected from direct UV light. For extended shelf life, storage at -20°C (-4°F) is advised.

Reconstitution: Use sterile, laboratory-grade diluents such as bacteriostatic water.

Stability: Avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles once the solution is prepared. Handle under aseptic conditions to maintain research integrity.

3. PRIMARY RESEARCH AREAS

Mitochondrial Bioenergetics: Investigating oxidative phosphorylation, ATP synthesis rates, and coupling efficiency.

Cardiolipin Dynamics: Modeling the stabilization of the inner mitochondrial membrane and respiratory supercomplex organization.

Redox Signaling: Experiments focusing on the mitigation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis.

Stress Resilience Models: Preclinical investigation of mitochondrial protection during ischemia-reperfusion injury and cellular stress.
