GMP SS31 Vial Only

What is SS-31?

SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂) that selectively binds the inner mitochondrial membrane phospholipid cardiolipin through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions (Chavez et al. 2020). This interaction stabilizes mitochondrial structure and supports electron transport by modulating protein–lipid interactions essential for oxidative phosphorylation (Zhu et al. 2022).

In aged tissue models, SS-31 preserves mitochondrial morphology, maintaining intact cristae and reducing reactive oxygen species–generating enzyme expression such as Nox4 (Sweetwyne et al. 2017). Treatment also decreases cellular senescence and extracellular matrix accumulation while improving podocyte and endothelial integrity in aged renal glomeruli (Sweetwyne et al. 2017).

Proteomic studies show that SS-31 interacts with multiple cardiolipin-associated proteins in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and tricarboxylic acid cycle (Chavez et al. 2020). Collectively, evidence indicates that SS-31 stabilizes mitochondrial membranes and supports bioenergetic function under conditions of cellular or age-related stress (Zhu et al. 2022).
