Using collagen remodelling and vascular endpoints — soft-tissue repair research.
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane by binding cardiolipin. It is one of the most actively studied compounds in mitochondrial-medicine research.

Mechanism in the literature
SS-31 binds cardiolipin — a phospholipid exclusive to the inner mitochondrial membrane — stabilizing cristae architecture and protecting electron-transport-chain function under oxidative stress. Research spans cardiac, neurological, and renal ischemia-reperfusion models.
Research use-cases
- Cardiolipin-binding mitochondrial peptide
- Also known as elamipretide (Bendavia, MTP-131)
- Studied in cardiac, renal, and neurodegeneration models
- Available in 10, 25, and 50 mg research vials
Often paired with
Buyers viewing SS-31 typically also consider Bacteriostatic Water, MOTS-c and Bronchogen. Each is in stock, sealed under nitrogen with a lot-matched CoA.
Handling in the lab
Injectable research protocols dominate. Daily or alternate-day administration is typical in mitochondrial-dysfunction models.
Stacking and paired-compound work
Mitochondrial research stacks frequently combine SS-31 with MOTS-c and NAD+ for orthogonal mitochondrial-support coverage.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between SS-31 and elamipretide?
Same compound, different names — SS-31 is the research designation, elamipretide is the pharmaceutical name.
What is cardiolipin?
A phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane. SS-31 binds it selectively, which is why the peptide accumulates in mitochondria.
Which tissues have been studied most?
Cardiac ischemia-reperfusion models dominate the literature, followed by renal and neurological research.
Can SS-31 be stacked with other mitochondrial peptides?
Research designs commonly combine SS-31 with MOTS-c and NAD+ to cover distinct mitochondrial-support pathways.
