SS-31 (Elamipretide; D-Arg-2′,6′-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that selectively binds cardiolipin, a phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Through cardiolipin interaction, SS-31 supports electron transport chain (ETC) supercomplex stability, preserves mitochondrial membrane architecture, and promotes efficient electron transfer. Experimental studies have demonstrated reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, improved ATP production, and preservation of mitochondrial membrane potential under conditions of mitochondrial stress. Research applications include cardiolipin biology, mitochondrial bioenergetics, ETC supercomplex investigation, oxidative stress pathways, ROS signalling, mitochondrial membrane dynamics, and mitochondrial dysfunction research. Supplied as lyophilised preparation. Independently third-party HPLC-tested; COA available per batch.
