SS-31 10MG

SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide built on an alternating aromatic-cationic amino-acid motif — a design that drives its selective accumulation in the inner mitochondrial membrane. There it associates with cardiolipin, the signature phospholipid of mitochondrial membranes, and in preclinical models it has been studied for its influence on electron-transport efficiency, reactive-oxygen-species dynamics, and cristae architecture. The compound emerged from research into whether mitochondrial dysfunction could be addressed at the membrane level rather than through systemic antioxidants, and it has since been investigated across an unusually wide range of disease models — cardiac, renal, neurological, and ophthalmic — making it one of the most broadly studied mitochondrial therapeutics in the preclinical literature. In the laboratory it is used in respirometry assays, membrane-potential studies, and isolated-mitochondria preparations. This 10MG presentation is the standard format for mitochondrial research programs. Cardiolipin association is the mechanistic detail most frequently probed in the compound's extensive preclinical literature. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
