SS31

SS-31 (ELAMIPRETIDE)

Type: Synthetic tetrapeptide

Description:
SS-31 is a synthetic, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide developed for research focused on mitochondrial structure, membrane dynamics, and oxidative signaling pathways. Due to its small size and unique aromatic–cationic structure, SS-31 is frequently studied in laboratory models examining mitochondrial membrane interactions and electron transport chain behavior.

In research settings, SS-31 is used to investigate mitochondrial stability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling, and cellular energy regulation mechanisms. Its high affinity for cardiolipin-rich membranes makes it a valuable tool in studies exploring mitochondrial integrity and function under stress conditions.

Research Areas of Interest:

• Mitochondrial membrane interaction studies

• Oxidative stress and ROS signaling research

• Electron transport chain modeling

• Cellular energy regulation research

• Peptide–lipid interaction analysis
