⚠️ NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION – FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY ⚠️ SS‑31 (Elamipretide)A synthetic mitochondria‑targeting tetrapeptide (sequence: D‑Arg‑dimethyl‑Tyr‑Lys‑Phe‑NH₂), belonging to the Szeto‑Schiller (SS) peptide family. It is investigated in research for its role in enhancing mitochondrial function, bioenergetics, and cellular protection. Form: Lyophilized powder Purity: >98% (HPLC) Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and dark environment; long-term storage typically at -20 °C(Sources: Wikipedia – Elamipretide, Szeto‑Schiller family background) Research Highlights Selectively accumulates in mitochondria by binding to cardiolipin, enhancing mitochondrial electron transport efficiency and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production Alzheimer's Drug Discovery FoundationWikipedia. Demonstrated improvements in mitochondrial ADP sensitivity and ATP production, especially in aged muscle tissue through modulation of the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) PubMed. Shown to restore mitochondrial integrity in models of mitochondrial dysfunction—such as in tafazzin-deficient (Barth syndrome) mice—by improving cristae structure and mitochondrial dynamics Nature. Acts as a mitochondrial antioxidant, reducing ROS levels and attenuating inflammation in preclinical models (eg, LPS-induced neuroinflammation in mouse hippocampus) BioMed CentralPubMed. May reverse age-related declines in mitochondrial function and improve organ performance in aged animal models eLifeKidney International.
