SS-31 10mg (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide supplied by Echo Peptides exclusively for laboratory, in-vitro research. Unlike compounds that act broadly across the cell, SS-31 concentrates at the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it selectively interacts with cardiolipin — the phospholipid that organizes the electron transport chain and shapes mitochondrial cristae.
Because of this focused affinity, researchers use SS-31 as a reference compound for probing mitochondrial membrane integrity and bioenergetic stability in cell-culture and preclinical systems. Its interaction with cardiolipin makes it a useful tool for isolating how membrane organization influences downstream measures of oxidative load, ATP output, and cellular resilience.
Key research areas
- Mitochondrial structure — stabilization of cristae architecture and inner-membrane organization in cell-based models
- Oxidative stress — reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and study of redox balance in vitro
- Bioenergetics — ATP production and electron-transport efficiency in preclinical assays
- Cellular protection — resilience pathways in metabolic and neurodegenerative research models
