SS-31

SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide primarily studied for its effects on mitochondrial function and cellular energy.

Key research areas include:

• Stabilization of cardiolipin and mitochondrial membranes

• Reduction of mitochondrial oxidative stress

• Improvement of ATP production and cellular energy

• Heart failure and cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction

• Age-related mitochondrial decline

• Potential neuroprotective and muscle-protective effects

It is investigated as a peptide that selectively concentrates in mitochondria to support their structure and function under stress.
