They are not approved for human or veterinary use
While most peptide research programs begin with a specific therapeutic target and build a synthetic molecule to match, this compound emerged from a fundamentally different direction: isolation and characterization of a naturally occurring protective sequence, followed by decades of systematic investigation into its biological activity profile
Provided as a stable lyophilized powder, it is suitable for controlled research environments requiring precision and reproducibility
How This Works SS31 (elamipretide) is a cellpermeable tetrapeptide with a unique mechanism of action targeting mitochondrial dysfunction [1]
