SS-31
Mitochondrial Peptide - Cardiolipin-targeting peptide studied for mitochondrial function.
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane, studied for its role in preserving mitochondrial energy production.
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is notable for advancing into clinical trials for mitochondrial and cardiovascular indications, which places it among the more rigorously studied compounds here. Its selectivity for cardiolipin gives it a well-defined molecular target on the inner mitochondrial membrane.
