SS‑31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria‑targeting tetrapeptide that selectively localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane where it associates with cardiolipin, stabilizing mitochondrial structure and improving electron transport chain efficiency. By preserving mitochondrial membrane potential and reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, SS‑31 has been used in preclinical research to investigate mitochondrial dysfunction, bioenergetics, ischemia‑reperfusion injury, neurodegeneration, metabolic disease models, and aging‑related cellular decline. Its mitochondria‑protective actions can improve ATP production, reduce oxidative damage, and modulate apoptosis and inflammation pathways in cell and tissue models.Product Usage: THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED AS A RESEARCH CHEMICAL ONLY.
