Research interest
Why researchers are interested
Brief notes on why SS-31 (Elamipretide) appears in laboratory study designs. Research use only — not for human or veterinary use.
- Researchers are studying this tetrapeptide in inner mitochondrial membrane and cardiolipin-association models.
- Common research areas include isolated-mitochondria assays and short cationic peptide handling.
- Of interest in studies that compare mitochondria-targeted peptides with other metabolic pathway stocks.
What is SS-31 (elamipretide) in research?
SS-31 refers to elamipretide (also indexed as MTP-131), a synthetic aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide with the sequence D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2, where Dmt is 2,6-dimethyltyrosine. Laboratories use it as a mitochondria-targeted tool compound: the alternating cationic-aromatic motif is studied for concentration at inner-membrane models, including work that examines association with cardiolipin.
Public identity anchors include CAS 736992-21-5, PubChem CID 11764719, and the molecular formula C32H49N9O5 (639.8 g/mol). Elevate Precision Health supplies SS-31 strictly for research use. Keep lot numbers linked to any identity or purity notes archived with the study folder.
Typical laboratory applications
Investigators use SS-31-class tetrapeptides in isolated-mitochondria or cultured-cell assays that read out membrane association, electron-transport markers, or handling of short cationic sequences. It also appears in method-development work (HPLC/LC-MS identity, reconstitution, plastic adsorption) because small aromatic-cationic peptides can behave differently from longer mitochondrial-encoded sequences such as MOTS-c.
Record solvent, aliquot temperature, and freeze–thaw counts so membrane-association datasets remain comparable across operators. Protect dry stocks from moisture; short peptides with aromatic side chains can adsorb to plasticware when working dilutions sit on the open bench.
