SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide, MTP-131, Bendavia, or Szeto-Schiller-31) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide with the sequence D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂ (Dmt = 2’,6’-dimethyl-L-tyrosine). In laboratory research, it is widely used to study mitochondrial membrane stabilization, cardiolipin interactions, and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Researchers employ SS-31 in preclinical models to investigate cellular protection, oxidative stress mitigation, and mitochondrial function under controlled experimental conditions.
