SS-31 is a mitochondrial-targeted peptide used in laboratories to investigate how mitochondrial stability, energy production, and oxidative stress function at the cellular level.
It is a tetrapeptide that specifically binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping to maintain mitochondrial structure and function. SS-31 is used in research for its ability to reduce oxidative damage and optimize ATP production in cell models.
Research findings
In vitro studies have shown that SS-31 stabilizes mitochondrial membranes and can improve the efficiency of the electron transport chain. This can lead to a reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and improved cellular energy metabolism.
Researchers are using SS-31 to study the interaction between oxidative stress, cell aging, and mitochondrial energy production. They are also investigating SS-31's role in regulating muscle function, neuroprotection, and repair after tissue damage.
