About SS-31
SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2, where Dmt is 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine. It belongs to the Szeto-Schiller family of peptides, named after Hazel Szeto and Peter Schiller, who developed them.
Canada Research Labs supplies SS-31 as 10mg of lyophilized powder in a 3 mL glass vial, packed and shipped from Ontario.
See our SS-31 research overview.
Research background
SS-31 is studied because it concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds cardiolipin, a phospholipid involved in organizing the electron transport chain. Its alternating aromatic and positively charged residues let it cross cell membranes despite carrying a net positive charge.
A 2014 review by Szeto (British Journal of Pharmacology) summarizes the research on SS-31 and cardiolipin, including laboratory studies of mitochondrial membrane structure, electron transport chain function and reactive oxygen species. Most published research on SS-31 outside clinical settings uses cell and animal models.
