Why Researchers Choose SS-31
SS-31 (elamipretide, MTP-131) is one of the few peptides that acts directly on the inner mitochondrial membrane rather than on a surface receptor, which makes it a reference tool wherever cardiolipin biology and mitochondrial energetics matter:
- Inner mitochondrial membrane cardiolipin binding and supercomplex stability
- Cardioprotection in ischaemia-reperfusion and infarct injury models
- Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) investigation
- Age-associated mitochondrial ultrastructure, kinetics and respiration decline
- Renal tubular cell protection against ischaemic and toxic injury
- Skeletal muscle mitochondrial ageing and sarcopenia research
Reconstitution and Storage
Reconstitution: use bacteriostatic water (1 to 2ml per vial); swirl gently until fully dissolved, do not shake. After reconstitution: keep refrigerated, use within 28 days, and protect from direct light.
Stacking SS-31 with NAD+
SS-31 is often paired with NAD+ in mitochondrial-ageing research: SS-31 protects the structural integrity of the electron transport chain at the cardiolipin level, while NAD+ replenishes the redox cofactor that the same chain depends on, so the two address mitochondrial decline from complementary angles.
