SS-31 (elamipretide) is a small tetrapeptide developed by Hazel Szeto and Peter Schiller and published in 2004. Since then, it has been the subject of extensive academic literature – appearing in over 200 independent publications in the PubMed database. The molecule belongs to the group of small peptides studied in the field of mitochondrial biology.
In academic literature, SS-31 most frequently appears in the context of mitochondrial dysfunction research – as a subject of in-vitro investigation in cellular models. Scientific teams study it in models focused on peptide interactions with the inner mitochondrial membrane.
In the laboratory, it is used as a reference analytical standard – for HPLC calibration, mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and comparative binding experiments. Cerebrotech supplies it as a lyophilized powder in a glass vial with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), with HPLC-verified purity ≥ 98%. A mass spectrum is available upon request for each batch.
A compatible solvent for reconstitution – bacteriostatic water – is available separately in our catalog. The product is intended exclusively for laboratory in-vitro research, biochemical analysis, and academic purposes. It is not a medicine, food supplement, or cosmetic product. It is not intended for human or animal consumption, application to the body surface, ingestion, or inhalation. Sale is subject to age 18+ verification.
