SS-31 (Elamipretide) Research-Grade Mitochondrial-Targeted Peptide

Product Overview

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide or Bendavia) is a highly specialized, cell-permeable synthetic tetrapeptide (4 amino acids). Unlike most peptides that act on cell surface receptors, SS-31 is specifically engineered to target and penetrate the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM).

Once inside the mitochondria, SS-31 selectively binds to cardiolipin, a critical phospholipid responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the mitochondrial membrane and the proper organization of the electron transport chain. In states of cellular stress or aging, cardiolipin degrades, leading to electron leakage, massive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and a halt in cellular energy (ATP) synthesis. By binding to and stabilizing cardiolipin, SS-31 restores mitochondrial bioenergetics, prevents the degradation of cytochrome c, and rapidly neutralizes oxidative stress at its exact source. It is currently one of the most promising and heavily researched compounds in the fields of anti-aging, neurodegeneration, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Primary Research Applications

Under doctor-reviewed scientific literature, SS-31 is frequently utilized in in vitro and animal model studies to observe:

• Mitochondrial Bioenergetics: Investigating the stabilization of cardiolipin, the optimization of the electron transport chain, and the significant restoration of ATP production in failing cells.

• Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: Observing the dramatic reduction of tissue damage, cellular apoptosis, and infarct size following induced ischemic events in cardiac and renal models.

• Oxidative Stress & Aging: Tracking the suppression of pathological reactive oxygen species (ROS) production without interfering with normal, healthy cellular signaling.

• Neuroprotection: Measuring the mitigation of neuroinflammation and the preservation of synaptic plasticity in models of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease.
