Description
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic, water-soluble tetrapeptide belonging to the Szeto–Schiller (SS) peptide family. It has been studied for its ability to localize to the inner mitochondrial membrane and interact with cardiolipin, a phospholipid associated with mitochondrial structure.
In laboratory research settings, SS-31 is utilized to investigate mitochondrial membrane dynamics, electron transport chain interactions, and cellular bioenergetic processes. Experimental studies have explored its role in models examining mitochondrial-associated signaling pathways, including those related to oxidative processes and cellular stress responses.
SS-31 is provided strictly for laboratory research purposes only. This compound is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for human or veterinary use and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
