Description
SS-31, also referred to as elamipretide, is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Researchers study it as a probe of mitochondrial energy handling.
In experimental models spanning cultured cells and laboratory animals, investigations have focused on membrane integrity, electron-transport efficiency, reactive oxygen species output, and energy metabolism under stress. This profile positions it as a benchmark compound for mitochondrial research.
Intended use: In vitro and preclinical in vivo laboratory research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.
