SS-31 (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂, where Dmt is 2′,6′-dimethyltyrosine), also known as elamipretide, is a synthetic aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide from the Szeto-Schiller series. Its alternating aromatic and positively charged residues let it cross cell membranes and concentrate at the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Research interest centres on its selective binding to cardiolipin, a phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Laboratory studies examine cristae structure, electron transport chain activity, mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species production in isolated mitochondria and cell models.
Each vial contains 10 or 50 mg of SS-31 (select a size above) as a lyophilized powder. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (sold separately) before laboratory use. The COA & Testing tab lists the tested batch, with links to verify it on COA Coalition and with the laboratory.
