Description
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a special peptide that helps keep the tiny powerhouses in our cells, called mitochondria, working properly. It does this by protecting a specific part of the mitochondria and reducing damage caused by harmful chemicals.
How Does it Work?
SS-31 works by attaching itself to a particular part of the mitochondria and helping it stay stable. This helps the mitochondria make energy for the cell more efficiently and reduces the production of harmful chemicals. It's like a special helper that keeps the mitochondria running smoothly (Birk et al., 2013; Chavez et al., 2020).
Research Applications
- Mitochondrial dysfunction research (Chavez et al., 2020)
- Ischemia-reperfusion injury studies (Birk et al., 2013)

Verification
Storage & Handling
Storage
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Keep it sealed, dry, and away from light until reconstitution.
Reconstitution
Let the vial reach room temperature before opening, then add solvent slowly down the vial wall — do not shake.
Stability
Lyophilized material is stable when frozen. Once reconstituted, keep it cold and minimise handling to preserve integrity.
