Mitochondria-targeting peptide studied in cardiolipin and bioenergetics research.
About SS-31
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide studied for its association with cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane and its effects on bioenergetics in research models. TagPep is adding SS-31 as a research-use-only reference material.
Mechanism studied in research
Concentrates at the inner mitochondrial membrane and interacts with cardiolipin — studied for effects on electron-transport efficiency and reactive-oxygen-species handling.
Areas of research investigation
- Mitochondrial-bioenergetics assays
- Cardiolipin-interaction research
- Oxidative-stress model systems
- Cardiac and muscle-mitochondria studies
Laboratory handling
Lyophilized; research reconstitution with sterile or bacteriostatic water, refrigerated solution, frozen light-protected powder.
