Description
SS-31 Peptide (10mg & 50mg) – Mitochondrial Research Compound
Research Overview
SS-31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2. First of all, it targets the inner mitochondrial membrane and interacts with cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in mitochondria. Unlike other mitochondrial peptides, SS-31 specifically binds to the mitochondrial membrane and influences electron transport chain activity in research models.
In research settings, scientists study SS-31 for its effects on mitochondrial function, oxidative stress pathways, and cellular energy production. In addition, researchers use it to investigate mitochondrial dynamics, including fission and fusion processes. As a result, SS-31 has become a valuable tool in mitochondrial biology and bioenergetics research.
When researchers buy SS-31 peptide, they look for proven purity, full lab reports, and quick USA shipping. Johnson Peptide delivers all three. Therefore, if you search for SS-31 for your lab work, you have come to the right place.
Key Research Applications
Researchers who study SS-31 peptide use it in several laboratory settings:
-
Mitochondrial Function Studies: Scientists use SS-31 to investigate mitochondrial respiration, electron transport chain activity, and ATP production in controlled models.
-
Oxidative Stress Research: SS-31 provides a model for studying reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defense pathways.
-
Cellular Energy Regulation: Researchers examine SS-31’s effects on mitochondrial bioenergetics and metabolic signaling pathways.
-
Mitochondrial Dynamics Studies: Scientists study SS-31’s influence on mitochondrial fission, fusion, and morphology in research models.
-
Comparative Studies: SS-31 is compared against other mitochondrial-targeted compounds to understand structure-activity relationships.
For related research, SS-31 is often studied alongside other mitochondrial compounds such as MOTS-c for comparative analysis of mitochondrial signaling pathways.
