Research Use Only. This compound is sold strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory purposes and is not intended for human consumption or therapeutic use. By purchasing you confirm you are a qualified researcher and agree to our full disclaimer.
Cell-permeable tetrapeptide studied for selective binding to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, with effects on bioenergetic and oxidative-stress markers in research models.
SS-31 (also known as elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed to target the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds cardiolipin and is studied in models of mitochondrial dysfunction. It is one of the most studied mitochondria-targeted research peptides. Quantum Labs supplies SS-31 as a lyophilised powder for Australian research applications.
Research on SS-31 has covered models of mitochondrial dysfunction in aging, ischemia-reperfusion injury, neurodegeneration, and mitochondrial myopathies. Material is HPLC-verified to ≥99% purity and ships from Australian stock; supplied for laboratory research use only.
Research Mechanism
Research suggests stabilisation of cardiolipin and electron transport chain integrity, with downstream effects on mitochondrial function in study subjects.
HPLC verified against a ≥99% purity specification. Independently tested by accredited third-party laboratories.
SS-31 — frequently asked questions
What is SS-31?
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide that selectively concentrates at the inner mitochondrial membrane and binds cardiolipin. It is studied as a mitochondria-targeted research compound in models of mitochondrial dysfunction.
Is SS-31 legal in Australia?
SS-31 is not an approved therapeutic in Australia and remains available for research and laboratory use when supplied without therapeutic representation. Quantum Labs supplies SS-31 for research use only.
What does SS-31 do in research?
Published research on SS-31 covers models of mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, neurodegeneration, aging-associated mitochondrial decline, and inherited mitochondrial disease. The compound is studied as a putative protector of cardiolipin and inner-membrane integrity.
Is SS-31 the same as elamipretide?
Yes — SS-31 is the research-code designation; elamipretide is the pharmaceutical name. They refer to the same compound.
