SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted peptide studied for its ability to concentrate at the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it interacts with cardiolipin. It is a prominent tool in mitochondrial-bioenergetics research.
What is SS-31?
SS-31 is a small, cell-permeable peptide designed to accumulate at the inner mitochondrial membrane. In research it binds cardiolipin, a lipid essential to mitochondrial structure and function.
Studied mechanisms (in-vitro and preclinical)
By associating with cardiolipin, SS-31 is studied for its effects on mitochondrial membrane stability and bioenergetics in preclinical models. Much of the research examines oxidative stress and cellular energy production.
SS-31 and related research peptides
SS-31 is frequently studied alongside MOTS-c, another mitochondrial research peptide, and antioxidants such as Glutathione. Each addresses a different aspect of mitochondrial and redox biology.
Quality and Certificate of Analysis
Every batch is analyzed by an independent, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory and ships with its own Certificate of Analysis documenting identity and purity. The COA is batch-specific and available on the product page.
Storage and handling
SS-31 ships lyophilized. Store cold and out of light, reconstitute with bacteriostatic water, and keep the reconstituted vial refrigerated.
Frequently asked questions
What is SS-31 used for in research?
It is studied as a mitochondria-targeted peptide in bioenergetics and oxidative-stress research.
How does SS-31 differ from MOTS-c?
SS-31 targets the inner mitochondrial membrane and binds cardiolipin, while MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-DNA-encoded metabolic signal.
Is SS-31 approved for human use?
No. It is intended solely for in-vitro laboratory research and is not for human or veterinary use.
How should SS-31 be stored?
Keep the lyophilized vial cold and out of light; once reconstituted, keep it refrigerated.
