Description
Introducing SS-31 in a 10 mg concentration, a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide engineered for its antioxidant and cytoprotective properties. SS-31 is designed to selectively localize to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it interacts with cardiolipin to stabilize mitochondrial function and reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS). This unique activity has made SS-31 a focus of research into aging, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial-related disorders.

Applications and Research Potential:
SS-31 has been studied extensively in preclinical research for its potential role in improving mitochondrial function, reducing oxidative damage, and enhancing cellular energy metabolism. Research suggests applications in models of neurodegeneration, ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiovascular disease, and age-related functional decline. By stabilizing cardiolipin and reducing mitochondrial ROS production, SS-31 provides a powerful tool for studying mitochondrial biology and oxidative stress.
Handling and Storage Instructions:
SS-31 is supplied as a lyophilized powder to ensure maximum stability. Reconstitute under sterile conditions with bacteriostatic water. Store lyophilized peptide at –20 °C in a sealed, dry environment. After reconstitution, short-term storage at 2–8 °C is recommended. Always handle in accordance with HSE laboratory protocols.
Production and Quality Control:
Each batch of SS-31 is manufactured using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and undergoes strict quality control testing. Identity and purity are confirmed by HPLC and mass spectrometry, ensuring reproducibility and research-grade reliability.
Regulatory and Safety Notes:
SS-31 is intended for scientific research use only and is not suitable for human or veterinary administration. Researchers must comply with institutional safety procedures and applicable regulatory requirements, including MHRA guidance.
