SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide) is a synthetic, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that is widely studied for its interaction with cardiolipin, a key phospholipid found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. In laboratory and preclinical research settings, SS-31 has been investigated for its potential role in supporting mitochondrial function, improving cellular energy dynamics, and reducing oxidative stress within mitochondria. Because mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in many metabolic and degenerative pathways, this peptide has drawn interest as a research tool for studying cellular energy regulation, oxidative damage, and mitochondrial membrane stability.
