What SS-31 is
SS-31 is a short synthetic peptide that concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where the literature describes an association with cardiolipin.
Research context
Studies focus on mitochondrial bioenergetics, cristae structure, reactive oxygen species, and models of mitochondrial dysfunction.
Handling in the laboratory
Supplied as a 10mg research vial.
Concentration reference
Working concentration is determined solely by the solvent volume added to the vial. The Lucent Life reconstitution calculator converts vial strength and solvent volume into mg/mL and U-100 syringe units. It performs unit math only and does not recommend any dosing, administration, or frequency.
