Description
Mechanism: Cardiolipin Stabilization
The unique pharmacological action of SS-31 centers on its interaction with Cardiolipin, a phospholipid exclusively found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
-
Cardiolipin Binding: SS-31 penetrates the cell membrane and binds selectively to Cardiolipin. This interaction stabilizes the cristae structure of the mitochondria.
-
Electron Transport Efficiency: By optimizing membrane curvature and fluidity, SS-31 facilitates the efficient transfer of electrons between complexes in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). This reduces electron “leakage.”
-
ROS Reduction: The result is a significant decrease in the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) at the source, while simultaneously maintaining or increasing ATP production—a phenomenon distinct from standard uncoupling agents.
This research peptide undergoes rigorous quality control and stability testing to ensure maximum integrity for scientific applications. Each batch is manufactured under strict laboratory conditions and verified through independent laboratory analysis.
⚠️ FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY
This product is strictly for in-vitro laboratory research, analysis, and development. It is not intended for human consumption, injection, or therapeutic use. SS-31 is not a drug.

Storage & Handling
Peptides require careful storage to maintain their integrity and research effectiveness. Lyophilized peptides should be stored in a cold, dry, dark environment to prevent degradation. For short-term use within 4 weeks, storage at 4°C is sufficient, while long-term storage requires temperatures below -20°C or -80°C for extended periods up to 2 years. Always protect peptides from light exposure and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can compromise structural integrity and research results.
