SS-31 Peptide

10mg · Lyophilized Powder · ≥98%

SS-31 (Elamipretide, Bendavia) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that selectively concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It interacts with cardiolipin, a phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane that is essential for electron transport chain function. Multiple clinical trials have investigated SS-31 in age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.
