Elamipretide, a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide

SS-31, also called elamipretide, is a four-residue peptide that gathers at the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mitochondrial and cell-energy research uses it as a standard tool.

About SS-31

SS-31 (elamipretide) has four amino acids. It was designed to collect at the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds cardiolipin. Mitochondrial and bioenergetics labs use it widely.

SS-31 comes in sealed kits of 10 or 30 freeze-dried vials. Certificates from an independent third-party laboratory are published per batch on /certificates as they become available. For laboratory and in-vitro research only.

Mechanism of action

SS-31 is a four-residue peptide that enters cells. Its sequence alternates aromatic and positively charged residues. That pattern lets it cross membranes without a transporter and build up at the inner mitochondrial membrane.

There it binds cardiolipin, the phospholipid typical of that membrane. Its target is a structural lipid, not a receptor. So papers use it to probe membrane integrity and energy production in mitochondria.

A short summary of published work, given as research context. It makes no therapeutic claim.

What published studies show

Structure and proposed mechanism: a 2025 review in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. A typical preclinical study of mitochondrial dysfunction: a 2019 paper in the Journal of Neuroinflammation.

Papers cover heart, kidney, nerve and eye models. SS-31 is investigational and not an approved medicine.

Written for education from published papers. It promises no result to anyone who buys, and NordPeps sells SS-31 for laboratory research only.

Storage & handling

Unopened vials. Store at 2–8 °C. For long periods, −20 °C or colder. Room temperature is fine in transit, but it is not a way to store a peptide.

After reconstitution. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Do not freeze: ice crystals break the peptide down for good. In bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol), labs usually work through a vial within about 30 days. With plain sterile water, the window is 24–48 hours.

Keep vials closed and out of the light. If you hold frozen stock, thaw it as few times as you can; each cycle loses some activity.

SS-31: common questions

How much does SS-31 cost?

A 10-vial kit costs €509 (10 mg), €629 (30 mg) or €799 (50 mg). A 30-vial kit costs three times as much (€1,527, €1,887 or €2,397). Delivery is free on every kit, to all 27 EU countries.

Is there a certificate for this compound?

Certificates from an independent third-party laboratory are published per batch on /certificates as they become available.

Are SS-31 and elamipretide the same?

Yes. SS-31 is the research code and elamipretide is the name of the same peptide. Laboratory research use only.

Why kits of 10 vials?

We sell this compound only in sealed kits of 10 identical vials, or 30. A 10-vial kit is the smallest order.

How do I store SS-31?

Unopened: 2–8 °C; for long stretches, −20 °C. Reconstituted: in the fridge, never frozen. Details are under storage and handling.

How is the concentration set?

By the volume of bacteriostatic water you add, not by the vial size alone. Enter the vial size and the diluent volume in the reconstitution calculator and it gives you the concentration.

What is cardiolipin, and why does it matter?

Cardiolipin is the phospholipid that marks the inner mitochondrial membrane. Studies report SS-31 binding to it. That explains how a peptide without a classic receptor still collects in one part of the cell.

Sealed kits, dispatched inside the EU.

Kits leave us 24–48 hours after payment, in a plain box with tracking. Delivery stays within the EU. Laboratory research use only.
