Product Introduction
SS-31 Peptide Elamipretide (also known as SS-31 or MTP-131) is a new cell-permeable mitochondrial-targeted synthetic peptide developed for oxidative stress and mitochondrial function research. Here we present an investigational peptide of only four different optimized amino acid residues that selectively targets the inner mitochondrial membrane and is distinct from commonly used antioxidant reagents. SS-31 protects mitochondrial structural integrity from oxidative stress, inhibits excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), and improves mitochondrial energy metabolism while maintaining normal cellular physiological functions. Lyophilized powder from ultra-high purity, it has excellent solubility in water and extremely low level of endotoxin. The core specialized reagent is used for global research in mitochondrial biology, anti-oxidation, tissue protection and metabolic disease preclinical studies with stable batch-to-batch bioactivity and outstanding biocompatibility.
Product Research Background
Academically, SS-31 Peptide was developed to address the historical limitations of conventional therapeutic antioxidants that cannot target mitochondria and provide insufficient efficacy to eliminate mitochondrial oxidative damage. Biomedical researchers discovered a number of cationic antioxidant peptides in the 1990s, and SS-31 was selected due to its unique target realignment towards mitochondria as well as its potent ability to scavenge free radicals. Preclinical studies validated that SS-31 can specifically attenuate mitochondrial ROS overload, rescue oxidative stress-induced cell apoptosis and restore dysfunction in energetics with impaired respiration among other benefits. Further detailed investigations confirmed its cardioprotective, neuroprotective and myoprotective roles. SS-31 has progressed to advance clinical stages but is only a synthetic peptide raw material for basic laboratory research, making it a hotspot reagent in current life sciences related to mitochondrial damage mechanism and antioxidant intervention research.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: The primary research benefit of SS-31 Peptide
A1: SS-31 is not an ordinary antioxidant; it is uniquely capable of mitochondrial targeting. This selectively removes mitochondrial ROS efficiently and does not disrupt normal cell metabolism, resulting in a higher accuracy of results for oxidative stress and mitochondrial function studies.
Q2: How to keep SS-31 peptide? SS-31 Powder:
A2: Lyophilized SS-31 powder should be tightly sealed and stored at -20℃ in a dry, dark, and sterile manner. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. To avoid any loss of biological activity, it is recommended that a reconstituted peptide solution be used immediately.
Q3: Can we do in vitro and vivo experiments using SS-31?
A3: Yes. Ultra-low endotoxin, excellent solubility and stable targeted bioactivity, we create high-purity SS-31 Peptide which fully comply with the experimental standards of in vitro cell assays and in vivo animal model research.
Q4: Is it polypeptide able to be used for the human medicine or health care?
A4: No. This product is for PROFESSIONAL LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. No clinical treatment of human beings, physical conditioning or personal application is allowed.
10 Common FAQs About Peptides
- What is a peptide?
Answer: A peptide is a short chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It is smaller and more easily absorbed by the human body than proteins, serving as a fundamental functional substance in biological organisms.
- What is the difference between peptides and proteins?
Answer: The core difference lies in molecular length and structure. Peptides are short amino acid chains (usually consisting of 2–50 amino acids), while proteins are long, complex amino acid chains with stable three-dimensional structures. Peptides have stronger permeability and faster absorption efficiency than proteins.
- What are the main types of peptides?
Answer: Peptides are mainly classified by the number of amino acids: dipeptides, tripeptides, oligopeptides (2–10 amino acids) and polypeptides (10–50 amino acids). They can also be divided into natural peptides and synthetic peptides according to their sources.
- What are the biological functions of peptides?
Answer: Peptides have diverse biological activities, including regulating human metabolism, improving immune function, promoting cell repair, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, and adjusting hormone levels. They act as key signaling molecules and regulatory factors in the body.
- Are peptides safe for human use?
Answer: Most natural and medically approved synthetic peptides are highly safe. They have small molecular weight, low toxicity, and will not accumulate in the body. However, unstandardized high-dose peptide products or impure synthetic peptides may cause mild discomfort.
- What are the common applications of peptides?
Answer: Peptides are widely used in multiple fields. In biomedicine, they are made into therapeutic drugs for endocrine and immune diseases; in cosmetics, they are used for anti-aging and skin repair; in health products, they serve as nutritional supplements to improve physical fitness.
- Can the human body absorb exogenous peptides directly?
Answer: Yes. Unlike proteins that need to be decomposed before absorption, small-molecule peptides can be directly absorbed by the intestinal tract and skin with high absorption rate and utilization efficiency, and can quickly exert biological effects in the body.
- What are synthetic peptides used for?
Answer: Synthetic peptides are artificially customized amino acid chains. They are mainly used for scientific research, clinical drug development, targeted skin care ingredient production, and precise nutritional supplementation, with higher purity and targeted activity than some natural peptides.
- Do peptide products have side effects?
Answer: Standard peptide products have almost no obvious side effects for most people. Individual groups may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort or skin sensitivity due to physical differences or excessive intake. Long-term excessive use may disrupt the body’s metabolic balance.
- What is the difference between collagen peptides and ordinary peptides?
Answer: Collagen peptides are a specific type of functional peptide extracted and decomposed from collagen, mainly targeting skin moisturizing, anti-wrinkle and joint care. Ordinary peptides cover a broader range with more diverse regulatory functions including immunity and metabolism, while collagen peptides have more focused skincare and anti-aging effects.
