SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a cutting-edge mitochondrial-targeted tetrapeptide compound with significant research potential in various therapeutic areas. This small peptide (D-Arg-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH2) demonstrates remarkable ability to reduce toxic reactive oxygen species production while stabilizing cardiolipin in mitochondrial membranes.
The mechanism of action involves protection of mitochondrial structure through binding to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This interaction enables SS-31 to scavenge ROS effectively, increase ATP supply, reduce cytochrome C release, and inhibit mPTP opening and calcium overload. These properties contribute to its observed anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, antiapoptotic, and autophagic effects in research models.
Our SS-31 peptides are manufactured under strict quality control conditions and are available in various research quantities (2mg to 30mg). Each batch undergoes rigorous third-party testing to ensure purity and potency exceed standard requirements.
