SS-31 Elamipretide Peptide

Elamipretide (SS-31) is a short peptide that can enter the mitochondria and alter the maintenance of mitochondrial activity. Elamipretide is a member of a class of peptides that penetrate cells and accumulate in the inner mitochondrial membrane. SS-31 Elamipretide repairs the mitochondria via binding to cardiolipin, a critical element of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Research suggests SS-31 Elamipretide may be used to treat mitochondrial dysfunction, increase physical endurance, improve cognitive impairment, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
