SS-31
Mitochondria-Targeted Antioxidant
A mitochondria-targeted antioxidant peptide studied for its cytoprotective properties.
Overview
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant peptide that selectively concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Research has investigated its ability to protect mitochondrial function and reduce oxidative stress in various disease models.
Research Information
Research on SS-31 has demonstrated its ability to stabilize cardiolipin, a key phospholipid in the inner mitochondrial membrane essential for electron transport chain function. Studies have investigated its cytoprotective effects in models of ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, and age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.
