SS-31 / Elamipretide: Identity, Nomenclature and Documentation Review
A source-checked SS-31 guide for matching literature names, experimental records, and batch documentation.
Research or raw-material evaluation only. Not for human or veterinary use.
SS-31, also called elamipretide in the cited research, is studied for its interactions with the mitochondrial inner membrane. Two useful papers answer different questions: one connects SS-31 and a fluorescent analogue to cardiolipin and ATP recovery in an ischemia model; the other maps proteins interacting with a modified SS-31 probe in isolated mitochondria. The SS-31 10 mg catalogue page is the starting point for material availability and documentation.
Two experiments, two different observations
| Study | Material and method | Reported observation |
|---|---|---|
| Birk et al., 2013 | A polarity-sensitive fluorescent SS-31 analogue for cardiolipin interaction, plus a rat renal-ischemia model. | The analogue showed high-affinity interaction with cardiolipin; rat experiments reported preservation of cristae structure and faster ATP recovery on reperfusion after SS-31 pretreatment. |
| Chavez et al., 2020 | A chemically modified SS-31 probe, cross-linking and mass spectrometry in mitochondrial preparations. | The authors identified interacting proteins associated with oxidative phosphorylation and 2-oxoglutarate processes, adding a protein-interaction map to the cardiolipin picture. |
Read the cardiolipin and ischemia study and the protein-interaction study. The fluorescent and cross-linkable probes serve experimental detection; they are not presented here as specifications of the offered material.
SS-31 material overview for a research enquiry
The product is listed as SS-31 10 mg. A focused request can specify whether the work needs identity confirmation, an analytical method discussion or an assay-related material question. No public COA file is linked on the product page at this review, so this guide does not invent a purity result or claim that either paper tested the product being sold.
Put the next question next to the right evidence
- Membrane mechanism: start with the cardiolipin-interaction methods and the precise probe used.
- Protein partners: use the cross-linking and mass-spectrometry study, keeping its modified probe in view.
- Research procurement: use the SS-31 10 mg page and send a material and documentation enquiry.
The published experiments are research context, not clinical outcomes or product-lot test results.
