Buy SS-31 (Elamipretide) — Mitochondrial-Targeted Research Peptide
Researchers looking to buy SS-31 for laboratory study will find this synthetic mitochondrial-targeted tetrapeptide is one of the most extensively researched mitochondrial peptides in modern bioenergetics literature. SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide and Bendavia) was developed at Cornell University by Dr. Hazel Szeto and Dr. Peter Schiller — the “SS” prefix refers to the names of the developers. The compound belongs to the Szeto-Schiller (SS) peptide family of mitochondrial-targeted compounds and has a clinical research base spanning multiple investigational trials in cardiovascular, renal, and ophthalmologic research.
Mechanism of Action
SS-31 has been investigated in published research for activity across several biological pathways, including:
- Cardiolipin binding — selective binding to cardiolipin, a phospholipid uniquely concentrated in the inner mitochondrial membrane
- Mitochondrial membrane stabilization — research on preservation of inner mitochondrial membrane structure and cristae architecture
- Electron transport chain efficiency — investigations into ETC complex assembly and electron flow through Complexes I–IV
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduction — research on mitochondrial ROS generation and oxidative stress modulation
- ATP production — studies on cellular bioenergetics and ATP synthesis capacity in compromised mitochondria research models
- Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) — research on mPTP opening and mitochondrial-driven apoptosis pathways
- Cytochrome c stabilization — investigations into cardiolipin-cytochrome c interactions in the electron transport chain
SS-31 is distinguished in mitochondrial research literature by its selective targeting mechanism — the peptide accumulates in the inner mitochondrial membrane through its affinity for cardiolipin, independently of mitochondrial membrane potential. This passive, potential-independent targeting allows SS-31 to localize to mitochondria even in cells where mitochondrial function is already compromised, which is a defining feature in research models of mitochondrial dysfunction.
Research Applications
SS-31 is widely used in research contexts including:
- Mitochondrial dysfunction and bioenergetics research models
- Cardiovascular research, particularly ischemia-reperfusion injury models
- Renal and kidney function research
- Heart failure and cardiac mitochondrial research
- Aging and mitochondrial decline research
- Neurodegenerative research models involving mitochondrial pathology
- Skeletal muscle and exercise physiology research
- Comparative analysis alongside other mitochondrial-active research compounds such as MOTS-c, NAD+, and Coenzyme Q10 analogs
- Ophthalmologic research, including dry age-related macular degeneration models

Reconstitution & Storage
Lyophilized SS-31 should be stored at -20°C for long-term stability and protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, the solution should be refrigerated at 2–8°C and used within the timeframe indicated on the product COA. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as they can degrade peptide integrity.
Shipping & Handling
All orders are shipped with temperature-controlled packaging to preserve peptide integrity. Domestic orders typically arrive within 2–4 business days. Tracking is provided on every order.

Storage & Handling
Proper storage and handling are essential to maintaining peptide stability and ensuring the integrity of your research material.
Storage Recommendations
Lyophilized peptides should be stored at -20°C for long-term preservation. For short-term storage of up to 30 days, refrigeration between 2-8°C is acceptable. Reconstituted peptides should always be refrigerated and used within 30 days.
Avoid the following:
Direct sunlight or UV exposure Repeated freeze-thaw cycles Temperature fluctuations Storage at room temperature beyond brief handling periods
Reconstitution Best Practices
Allow vials to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. Use bacteriostatic water as the diluent for most peptides, injecting slowly along the side of the vial. Gently swirl to dissolve — do not shake. Allow the solution to fully dissolve before drawing for research use.
Shelf Life
Lyophilized peptides maintain potency for up to 24 months when stored properly at -20°C. Reconstituted solutions should be used within 30 days for optimal research results.
Research Use Only
All products supplied by Kinetic Compounds are intended strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and development purposes.
Intended Use
