What is SS-31?

SS-31 (Elamipretide/Bendavia) is a cell-permeable, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide with the sequence D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2. Dmt (2,6-dimethyltyrosine) is a modified aromatic residue that enhances mitochondrial membrane interaction. The alternating aromatic-cationic motif allows the peptide to concentrate >1000-fold within mitochondria. SS-31 selectively binds cardiolipin, a unique bis-phospholipid found exclusively on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Cardiolipin constitutes approximately 20% of inner membrane lipid content and is essential for cristae structure and electron transport chain complex organization. For laboratory research use only.
