SS-31

Overview

SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide studied in cellular energy and mitochondrial biology research. It is also known as elamipretide and has been investigated in models involving mitochondrial membranes and oxidative stress.

Mechanism of Action

SS-31 localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and interacts with cardiolipin, a phospholipid important for respiratory-chain organization. This interaction is studied for effects on mitochondrial membrane structure, electron transport efficiency, and reactive oxygen species generation in experimental systems.

Common Research Uses

• Mitochondrial function studies
• Cardiolipin interaction research
• Cellular energy research
• Oxidative stress models
