Functional Description
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting synthetic tetrapeptide studied for its ability to interact with cardiolipin, a phospholipid located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that is important for mitochondrial structure and energy production.
In research settings, SS-31 is commonly investigated for its potential influence on mitochondrial bioenergetics, electron transport chain efficiency, ATP production, oxidative stress, and cellular protection pathways.
Key Research Functions:
