SS-31 (Elamipretide)

SS-31 is a synthetic, cell-permeable peptide designed to target and bind directly to cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Researchers utilize SS-31 to study cellular energy (ATP) production, the reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and pathways related to age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.

By binding to cardiolipin, research suggests SS-31 helps stabilize the inner mitochondrial membrane structure, promoting more efficient electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation.

No. SS-31 is supplied strictly as a reference compound for in vitro laboratory research. It is not for human or veterinary consumption.

Yes. SS-31 is not a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and is entirely legal to buy, possess, and utilise as a laboratory reference material.

Yes. All batches of SS-31 are tested by independent, third-party laboratories using HPLC to ensure >99% purity.

SS-31 has specific molecular identifiers including its Chemical Formula, Molecular Weight, and CAS Number. These exact specifications are detailed in the Specifications table above.

SS-31 is supplied in a sealed glass vial as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder. For laboratory research, it requires reconstitution with a compatible solvent such as bacteriostatic water.

Store the lyophilised SS-31 powder at -20°C (or in a standard freezer) away from light. Once reconstituted, store the solution at 2-8°C (in a refrigerator) and use within the timeframe appropriate for your protocol.

Yes. Every batch of SS-31 is associated with a Certificate of Analysis confirming its exact purity and identity.

SS-31 is available to buy from specialist UK suppliers like KYRO Labs. We provide strict >99% purity, third-party tested reference materials for laboratory and in vitro research.
