Overview SS-31, also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131, is a synthetic aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide belonging to the Szeto-Schiller family of mitochondria-targeting peptides. It is widely investigated in mitochondrial and oxidative stress research for its selective localisation to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds cardiolipin — a key phospholipid involved in maintaining mitochondrial membrane integrity and electron transport chain organisation. Its unique alternating aromatic-cationic structure makes it a compound of significant interest in bioenergetics, cellular stress response, and mitochondrial function research. This product is supplied as a lyophilised vial, verified at ≥99% purity by HPLC prior to dispatch.
