behind the compound.
Overview
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a synthetic aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide of the Szeto-Schiller family, engineered from an opioid-peptide analog but reworked to eliminate opioid activity while retaining an aromatic-cationic motif for mitochondrial targeting. It carries a net positive charge and alternates cationic and aromatic residues.
It is a focused reference in longevity study, characterized for its association with cardiolipin and its role in models of mitochondrial function.
