SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide designed to protect mitochondrial function, enhance cellular energy production, and reduce oxidative stress. Its unique structure allows it to selectively bind cardiolipin, stabilizing mitochondrial membranes and improving bioenergetic efficiency. How It Works?
SS-31:
Binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane
Stabilizes mitochondrial structure
Reduces ROS formation
Improves electron transport efficiency → higher ATP output
