SS-31 (Elamipretide) – Mitochondria-Targeted Tetrapeptide | Research Use Only

SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide engineered for selective mitochondrial targeting in experimental models. It is composed of alternating aromatic and basic amino acids designed to facilitate mitochondrial membrane interaction in laboratory research settings.

In scientific literature, SS-31 is described as a mitochondria-targeted peptide that associates with cardiolipin within the inner mitochondrial membrane under controlled experimental conditions.
