SS-31
10mg · Lyophilized Powder · Purity ≥99%
SS31 (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂; also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that selectively concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane to interact with cardiolipin, used as a research tool in mitochondrial bioenergetics and electron transport chain studies. Available in 10mg and 50mg formats.

Research Overview
SS31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide developed by Szeto and Schiller that localises to the inner mitochondrial membrane through electrostatic and aromatic interactions with cardiolipin — a phospholipid critical to the structural integrity and function of the electron transport chain (ETC). Its selective mitochondrial partitioning has made it a widely used pharmacological tool in preclinical research examining cardiolipin-ETC complex stabilisation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and mitochondrial membrane potential in cell and animal models. BME Health supplies SS31 as a lyophilized high-purity research peptide in both 10mg and 50mg formats. Supplied exclusively for laboratory and research use.
Preclinical research has employed SS31 to investigate the consequences of cardiolipin stabilisation on mitochondrial respiration, cristae morphology, and ROS output in models of oxidative stress, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and age-related mitochondrial dysfunction. Studies have examined its capacity to preserve ETC complex activity and maintain mitochondrial membrane integrity in isolated mitochondria preparations and whole-cell models. Its unique inner mitochondrial membrane targeting has positioned SS31 as a reference compound in the broader field of mitochondria-targeted antioxidant research. All outcomes referenced do not constitute evidence of clinical efficacy or safety in humans.

COA / Testing
Batch documentation and third-party testing information are available for batch BME-SS3110-A. COA previews appear only when documentation exists for the active batch.
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized SS31 at −20°C in a tightly sealed container, protected from light and humidity. Reconstituted solutions should be prepared fresh for each experimental session where possible; if storage of reconstituted material is required, keep at 4°C for short-term use and avoid freeze-thaw cycling. Upon receipt, verify vial integrity before use.
