SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide investigated for its interactions with mitochondrial membranes, particularly cardiolipin-associated processes. Research has examined its relationship with mitochondrial structure, oxidative stress, and cellular bioenergetics.
Elamipretide has also undergone clinical development and received FDA approval for a narrowly defined medical indication. Research-grade SS-31 should not be represented as equivalent to an approved drug.
Research Focus: Mitochondrial membranes, cardiolipin interactions, and cellular bioenergetics.
