Specifications

Storage Instructions

To maintain optimal stability and product integrity, SS-31 should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive heat. Refrigeration is recommended for long-term storage, particularly after reconstitution where applicable. Repeated temperature fluctuations should be avoided, and all handling should follow established laboratory protocols to preserve the quality of the research material. Proper storage practices help ensure consistent performance throughout laboratory investigations. For detailed guidance on storing and handling research compounds, please refer to our blog on Proper Storage and Handling of Research Peptides.

Research Background

SS-31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide specifically engineered to target mitochondrial membranes through its interaction with cardiolipin, a phospholipid found almost exclusively within the inner mitochondrial membrane. This unique mechanism has made SS-31 a valuable research tool for scientists investigating mitochondrial function, oxidative phosphorylation, reactive oxygen species, and cellular energy production. Laboratory studies have explored its effects on mitochondrial dynamics, membrane stability, and bioenergetic efficiency across a range of experimental models. Ongoing preclinical investigations continue to expand understanding of SS-31’s molecular characteristics and its role within mitochondrial biology, making it one of the most widely recognised mitochondria-targeting peptides in scientific research.
