SS-31, also called Elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide (four amino acids). It is studied in cellular-energy and mitochondrial research and supplied for research use only.
What SS-31 is
SS-31 is a short peptide of four amino acids, a tetrapeptide, designed to concentrate in the mitochondria, the energy centers of the cell. That targeting is the basis of the research interest in it.
How it is studied
In the laboratory, SS-31 is studied in mitochondrial and cellular-energy research, alongside compounds like MOTS-c. As a research peptide, it is a study tool and is not approved or intended for human use.
What to look for
A research-grade SS-31 should ship with a batch-specific certificate of analysis confirming purity and identity.
