SS-31 50 mg – Mitochondria-Targeting Peptide for Research | Peptide Hubs
SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide investigated for its unique ability to preserve and restore mitochondrial function. Peptide Hubs offers this powerful compound in a 50 mg (2 mL) vial, designed for laboratory use in studies focused on cellular energy, oxidative damage, neurodegeneration, and age-related tissue decline.
What is SS-31?
SS-31 is a synthetic peptide (D-Arg-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH2) that penetrates mitochondria and binds to cardiolipin, a lipid critical for mitochondrial integrity. Its primary mechanism involves reducing mitochondrial ROS (reactive oxygen species) while enhancing ATP production. In preclinical studies, SS-31 has demonstrated potential in improving cardiac, muscular, neural, and renal function.
According to recent findings published in PubMed, SS-31 may reduce age-related decline and organ dysfunction by enhancing mitochondrial bioenergetics and minimizing oxidative stress in critical tissues.
