SS-31 (Elamipretide)
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic peptide designed to target mitochondria. It acts as an antioxidant that stabilizes the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress, improve energy production, and reduce cell death in conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed to target and protect mitochondria. By stabilizing the inner mitochondrial membrane and interacting with cardiolipin, it helps maintain mitochondrial energy production and reduce the generation of damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by stress or age-related dysfunction.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted peptide designed to stabilize the inner mitochondrial membrane by binding to cardiolipin. It is primarily researched for its ability to reduce oxidative stress, improve mitochondrial bioenergetics, and protect against cellular damage in conditions involving ischemia, inflammation, and aging-related degeneration.
