What is SS-31? — Mitochondrial Research Peptide & Laboratory Information
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY — NOT FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL CONSUMPTION
What is SS-31?
SS-31 is a cell-permeable peptide that selectively targets the inner mitochondrial membrane. Also known as elamipretide, it was designed to penetrate cells and localise to mitochondria — the cellular organelles responsible for energy production. It is used exclusively in laboratory research into mitochondrial function and cellular bioenergetics.
Research Background
SS-31 is studied for its ability to interact with cardiolipin, a phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Research investigates its effects on mitochondrial cristae structure, oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, and reactive oxygen species production — all within experimental models.
