What it is
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide. It is classed as a cardiolipin-binding peptide that localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is supplied as lyophilized material for research use only.
Mechanism (technical)
SS-31 has been studied for its binding to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, a mechanism investigated for its association with mitochondrial structure and bioenergetics. This rationale underlies its study in disorders of mitochondrial function. The indexed trials focus on functional and patient-reported endpoints.
