SS-31 – Mitochondrial-Targeted Tetrapeptide Research Peptide
Compound Name: SS-31 (Elamipretide)
Classification: Research Peptide – Mitochondrial-Targeted Tetrapeptide
Description:
SS-31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed to selectively target mitochondrial membranes and is widely studied in laboratory research for its interaction with cardiolipin-associated mitochondrial signaling pathways. In controlled research environments, SS-31 is commonly investigated for its role in mitochondrial bioenergetics, cellular stress response, and peptide-mediated regulation of mitochondrial function.
Researchers utilize SS-31 in biochemical and in-vitro model systems to examine mitochondrial membrane dynamics, oxidative stress signaling, ATP-related energy pathways, and cellular homeostasis mechanisms. Due to its mitochondrial-targeting characteristics and peptide structure, SS-31 serves as a valuable research tool in studies involving mitochondrial regulation and cellular energy signaling pathways.
This compound is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form to enhance stability for controlled laboratory research applications.
