SS-31 (Elamipretide) 10mg – Mitochondrial-Targeted Peptide

$100.00

SS-31, also known as Elamipretide or Bendavia, is a tetrapeptide belonging to the Szeto-Schiller (SS) class of aromatic-cationic peptides. This 10mg lyophilized vial contains a compound engineered to selectively target and concentrate within the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM).

Unlike general antioxidants that scavenge free radicals indiscriminately throughout the cell, SS-31 is a mitochondrial-targeted agent. It is the primary subject of research regarding the restoration of bioenergetics in aged or ischemic tissues.

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.

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.
