Overview
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic Szeto-Schiller tetrapeptide. Supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.
Mechanism of Action
Reported in published in-vitro studies as a cardiolipin-binding peptide that localises to the inner mitochondrial membrane in cell-culture assays. Not intended for human or veterinary use.
Research Effects
Cardiolipin Binding
Extensive ResearchCharacterised in cell-culture studies as a selective binder of cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Mitochondrial-ROS Assays
Extensive ResearchPublished in-vitro assays report effects on mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation.
Cytochrome-c Studies
Moderate ResearchCell-culture studies report stabilisation of cardiolipin–cytochrome c association under stress conditions.
