SS-31
Mitochondria-targeted research tetrapeptide (elamipretide) for cellular energetics studies.
— Product Overview
Description
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a synthetic water-soluble tetrapeptide that selectively targets the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it associates with the phospholipid cardiolipin. In published cell and animal research it has been studied for effects on mitochondrial bioenergetics, cristae structure, membrane potential, and reactive oxygen species.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.
