SS31 10mg — Mitochondria-Targeted Antioxidant Research Peptide
SS31 10mg (Szeto-Schiller Peptide 31, D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2) is a member of the SS-peptide family of mitochondria-targeted antioxidants. These synthetic tetrapeptides are specifically designed to concentrate in the inner mitochondrial membrane through electrostatic interactions involving their alternating cationic and aromatic amino acid residues. SS31 has attracted significant research interest focused on mitochondrial bioenergetics, oxidative stress, and cellular energetics.
Research Applications
Research utilising SS31 has centred on its selective accumulation within the inner mitochondrial membrane and its capacity to scavenge mitochondria-localised reactive oxygen species, reduce cytochrome c peroxidase activity, and preserve mitochondrial cristae architecture under conditions of oxidative or ischaemic stress. Studies have investigated its effects on ATP synthesis, electron transport chain efficiency, and mitochondrial membrane potential, with additional research in cardiac, renal, and neuronal energy metabolism models.
Formulation & Purity
Supplied as a high-purity white lyophilised powder, this product exceeds >99% purity as verified by HPLC analysis. Its freeze-dried formulation ensures long-term structural stability, maintaining peptide integrity throughout storage and transport. Researchers may reconstitute the compound using bacteriostatic water or a sterile diluent suited to their experimental protocol.
Intended Use
SS31 10mg is intended exclusively for in vitro and non-clinical scientific research. It is not approved for human or animal therapeutic, diagnostic, or medicinal use. All handling and experimentation must be conducted by trained professionals within appropriate controlled laboratory environments.
