SS-31 (Elamipretide)
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide that selectively binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is studied in preclinical research in relation to mitochondrial function and oxidative stress.
What is SS-31 (Elamipretide)?
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide that selectively binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is studied in preclinical research in relation to mitochondrial function and oxidative stress. This page is intended solely as an informational research guide for laboratory applications (Research Use Only).
Mechanism (preclinical)
Stabilises cardiolipin, supports the electron transport chain and reduces ROS production in preclinical models.
