SS-31 (Lyophilized Form)

CAS Number: 897016-82-9
Molecular Formula: C₃₈H₆₄N₈O₈

Product Overview

SS-31 is a high-purity lyophilized mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide designed for scientific and laboratory research. Also known as Elamipretide, SS-31 peptide selectively targets cardiolipin-rich membranes within mitochondria, supporting structural and functional integrity under oxidative stress.

Extensive research has shown that the SS-31 peptide can reduce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), improve ATP production, and protect against mitochondrial dysfunction. It is widely studied in models of aging, neurodegeneration, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and metabolic disorders, making it a valuable tool in mitochondrial and cellular health research.

Applications

• Mitochondrial function and oxidative stress studies

• Research on age-related diseases and metabolic dysfunction

• Preclinical models involving ischemia-reperfusion injury and neurodegeneration
