QRP Research SS-31 (Elamipretide) 10mg
 
 
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide extensively investigated in experimental mitochondrial biology, cellular bioenergetics and membrane-function research.
SS-31 belongs to the Szeto-Schiller (SS) peptide family and is characterised by an alternating aromatic-cationic structure that enables interaction with mitochondrial membranes.
A major area of scientific interest surrounding SS-31 is its interaction with cardiolipin, a specialised phospholipid highly enriched within the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). Cardiolipin plays an important role in mitochondrial membrane organisation, cristae architecture and the function of proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation.
Experimental studies have demonstrated that SS-31 associates with cardiolipin-containing membranes and can influence their surface electrostatics, lipid organisation and membrane properties.
These characteristics have made Elamipretide an important experimental compound for investigating the relationship between mitochondrial membrane structure, electron transport, cellular energy production and oxidative stress mechanisms.
QRP Research SS-31 (Elamipretide) 10mg is supplied as a lyophilised research peptide intended exclusively for controlled laboratory, analytical and scientific investigation.
Key Research Areas
SS-31 (Elamipretide) has been investigated experimentally in relation to:
Mitochondrial membrane biology
Cardiolipin interactions
Inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) structure
Mitochondrial cristae organisation
Electron transport system (ETS) function
Oxidative phosphorylation
ATP and cellular bioenergetics
Mitochondrial membrane potential
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mechanisms
Oxidative stress pathways
Cytochrome c-associated mechanisms
Mitochondrial protein interactions
Calcium-associated mitochondrial stress
Cellular stress-response mechanisms
Mitochondrial dysfunction research
A particularly important characteristic of SS-31 is its affinity for cardiolipin-rich mitochondrial membranes. Rather than acting through a conventional cell-surface receptor, SS-31 has been investigated for its ability to interact directly with the physical and electrostatic environment of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Research has also examined how SS-31 influences cardiolipin-associated proteins and electron transport system components, providing a valuable experimental model for studying the relationship between mitochondrial membrane organisation and cellular bioenergetics.
Although SS-31 has been investigated across numerous preclinical and clinical research programmes, research findings should not be interpreted as evidence of established anti-ageing, performance-enhancing, therapeutic or other clinical effects of this research product.
