What It Is
SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131) is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide designed to selectively target and bind to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. By stabilizing cardiolipin, it restores structural membrane curvature, optimizes electron transport chain supercomplexes, and enhances mitochondrial energetic capacity.
What It Is Commonly Used For
-
Mitochondrial Energetics & ATP Production: Studied for optimizing electron transfer dynamics and boosting cellular ATP synthesis without increasing oxygen consumption.
-
Oxidative Stress & ROS Reduction: Evaluated in ischemia-reperfusion and neurodegenerative models for significantly reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) emissions.
-
Cardiovascular & Renal Protection: Researched for its capacity to protect cardiac tissue, restore glomerular function, and mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction in age-related degenerative models.
General Purpose
To provide a cardiolipin-targeted peptide compound for investigating mitochondrial bioenergetics, electron transport efficiency, ROS attenuation, and organ protection in laboratory research.
