SS-31, also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131, is a synthetic tetrapeptide engineered to selectively bind cardiolipin, a phospholipid found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This interaction helps preserve mitochondrial structure and function, making SS-31 a powerful tool in studies of bioenergetics, oxidative damage, and age-related cellular decline.
Key Benefits:
Mitochondrial Stabilization: Protects cristae architecture and enhances ATP production.
Oxidative Stress Reduction: Minimizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation.
Neuro protection: Explored in models of neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline.
Cardio protection: Studied for its role in ischemia-reperfusion injury and heart failure.
Cellular Energy Optimization: Improves mitochondrial efficiency under metabolic stress.
