Research Information
SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, studied for its role in mitochondrial research. Researchers are interested in how stabilising the inner mitochondrial membrane affects ATP production efficiency and reactive oxygen species generation in cell-culture studies. Most published work has used cardiac and skeletal muscle cell lines to examine its effects on mitochondrial function under stress conditions.
Research areas
- Cardiolipin-binding studies
- Mitochondrial membrane integrity research
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays
- ATP production efficiency cell models
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Batch tested
Every batch is tested for identity and purity (98%+) before it reaches our UK stock.
