Description
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131, is a modified synthetic tetrapeptide supplied for controlled laboratory, analytical, and scientific research.
Its structure contains D-arginine, the non-standard amino-acid residue 2,6-dimethyltyrosine (Dmt), lysine, phenylalanine, and C-terminal amidation. These features contribute to its overall molecular identity and distinguish SS-31 from conventional, unmodified tetrapeptides.
Research Applications
SS-31 may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:
- Modified peptide characterization
- Molecular interaction studies
- Mitochondrial-associated biochemical research
- Membrane interaction studies
- Structure-function analysis
- Analytical peptide comparison
- Stability assessment
- Non-clinical biochemical and cellular models
Any observations should remain specific to the applicable research system and should not be interpreted as evidence of therapeutic, mitochondrial, cardiovascular, neurological, regenerative, or clinical effectiveness.
Structural Information
SS-31 is commonly represented as:
H-D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂
Where:
- D-Arg = D-arginine
- Dmt = 2,6-dimethyltyrosine
- Lys = lysine
- Phe = phenylalanine
- NH₂ = C-terminal amidation
Because the molecule contains a non-standard residue and defined stereochemistry, simplified sequence notation should not replace full structural documentation.
Analytical Identification
Relevant analytical characterization may include:
- Peptide identity confirmation
- Modified-residue verification
- Stereochemical verification
- Molecular mass assessment
- C-terminal amidation confirmation
- Chromatographic purity testing
- Structural characterization
- Lot-specific quality analysis
If the material is supplied as a TFA, acetate, or another counter-ion form, molecular specifications should be matched to that exact preparation.
Specifications & Documentation
Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:
- Compound identity
- Modified peptide structure
- Molecular formula
- Molecular weight
- Stereochemical configuration
- Salt or counter-ion form
- Purity specification
- Analytical testing
- Lot or batch information
- Certificate of Analysis
- Storage requirements
Authenticated product-specific documentation should take precedence over generalized reference values.
Storage & Handling
Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that could compromise peptide integrity.
Follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for research materials.
