SS-31 50mg

Dragon Pharma SS-31 — Research Compound Overview

Product Overview

Dragon Pharma SS-31 Peptides (commonly referenced in scientific literature as elamipretide or SS-31) are high-purity, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptides designed for laboratory research applications. SS-31 is of particular interest in studies involving mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and cellular bioenergetics due to its unique affinity for cardiolipin-rich mitochondrial membranes.

Mechanism of Action or Core Function

In experimental systems SS-31 selectively localizes to mitochondria and shows affinity for cardiolipin-rich inner mitochondrial membranes. It is used as a mechanistic tool to examine mitochondrial respiration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) dynamics, and membrane structure–function relationships in vitro and in vivo laboratory models.

Key SS-31 Benefits & Applications

• Tool reagent for studies of mitochondrial respiration and membrane integrity.
• Applied in models of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction for mechanistic investigation.
• Used to probe cardiolipin interactions and mitochondrial protein complexes in basic research.
• Typical search terms: mitochondrial peptide, oxidative stress models, elamipretide studies.

Usage & Handling

Reconstitution commonly involves bacteriostatic water to achieve desired study concentrations.
