SS-31

SS-31 Peptide (Elamipretide) – Mitochondria-Targeted Research Peptide

SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide developed for investigational research focused on cellular bioenergetics and oxidative stress pathways. This small peptide is designed to selectively associate with cardiolipin within the inner mitochondrial membrane, making it a valuable tool for studying mitochondrial stability and function in laboratory models.

In preclinical research, SS-31 has been examined for its potential role in supporting mitochondrial structure, optimizing ATP production efficiency, and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation under stress conditions. Because mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in a wide range of experimental disease models, SS-31 is commonly utilized in studies involving metabolic regulation, muscle physiology, neurobiology, and age-related cellular changes.
