What is SS-31?
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide studied for its role in cellular energy production, oxidative stress reduction, and mitochondrial protection. It has gained attention in preclinical research for its potential to support organ and tissue health through enhanced mitochondrial function.
Mechanism of Interest
SS-31 is designed to localize to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it interacts with cardiolipin to improve electron transport efficiency and reduce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These effects have made it a candidate in models involving cardiac, muscular, and neurodegenerative health.
Why Researchers Study SS-31
- Studied for enhancing mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative damage
- Explored for supporting heart, muscle, and neurological tissue in stress conditions
- Investigated for potential use in age-related and degenerative disease models
