Research context
SS-31 10 mg is a lyophilized mitochondrial research fill. The published report names this 10 mg sample. The 50 mg listing is a different SKU. Research use only.
SS‑31 (10 mg) — Mitochondria‑Targeted Tetrapeptide for Cellular‑Bioenergetics Research
SS‑31 is a research‑grade mitochondria‑targeted tetrapeptide widely referenced in Canadian laboratory environments for studies involving cardiolipin interactions, mitochondrial‑membrane stabilization, oxidative‑stress modulation, and cellular‑bioenergetics regulation.
BlueNex Labs supplies SS-31 peptide as a 10 mg lyophilized fill. The published lot report names this sample. Research Use Only (RUO) designation applies.
Also known as Elamipretide, SS‑31 is engineered to selectively associate with cardiolipin‑rich inner mitochondrial membranes, making it a valuable tool for in‑vitro and preclinical research exploring mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS‑associated pathways, and bioenergetic resilience.
Its compact structure, strong analytical visibility, and predictable behaviour in controlled systems make SS‑31 a commonly referenced peptide in Canadian laboratory studies of mitochondrial integrity, electron‑transport chain (ETC) dynamics, and cellular‑stress adaptation.
What Is SS‑31?
SS‑31 is a synthetic aromatic‑cationic tetrapeptide designed to selectively target the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) through high‑affinity binding to cardiolipin, a phospholipid essential for mitochondrial structure and function.
In research settings, SS‑31 is used to study:
- Cardiolipin–peptide interactions
- Mitochondrial‑membrane stabilization
- Electron‑transport chain (ETC) efficiency
- Oxidative‑stress and ROS‑associated pathways
- Cellular‑bioenergetics and ATP‑production models
- Mitochondrial‑dysfunction and stress‑response signalling
Scientific Context
SS‑31 is frequently referenced in studies involving:
- Mitochondrial permeability and membrane potential
- Cardiolipin oxidation and lipid‑peroxidation models
- ETC complex stability and electron‑leak dynamics
- Cellular‑resilience under metabolic or oxidative stress
- Comparative mitochondrial‑targeted peptide research
Its unique ability to localize to mitochondria without requiring membrane potential makes SS‑31 a powerful tool for bioenergetics and mitochondrial‑mechanism research.

- Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles; aliquot according to your laboratory SOP
Documentation
The published 10 mg Certificate of Analysis is in the certificates library. That report names this 10 mg sample and does not document the SS-31 50 mg listing. Match vial size and lot notes before assigning a report to an assay.
Compliance Notice
Research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. No medical, cosmetic, or performance claims are made or implied.
The 50 mg fill is a separate catalogue listing: SS-31 50 mg.
