Research reference material
SS-31
SS-31 is a mitochondrial-targeted tetrapeptide analog supplied at >98% purity in a 5 mg vial. It serves as a laboratory reagent for investigating cardiolipin interaction, inner-membrane potential, and mitochondrial bioenergetics in vitro. Research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
- >98% purity, lyophilized peptide
- Cardiolipin-association model reagent
- Inner-membrane potential studies in vitro
- Research use only — no human/veterinary use
Research context
SS-31 belongs to the mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide class. In model systems it partitions toward the inner mitochondrial membrane, where cardiolipin is concentrated, making it a tool for studying cardiolipin association at the molecular level.
Investigators use SS-31 in vitro to probe membrane-potential dynamics, electron-transport organization, and oxidative-stress pathways in isolated mitochondria and cultured cells. It is a reagent for mechanism-focused bioenergetics work, not a characterized outcome.
Supplied as a lyophilized peptide at >98% purity. Handle per standard peptide practice. Strictly for laboratory research; no clinical, diagnostic, or in-vivo application is stated or implied.
