SS-31

SS-31

Catalog strength: 10mg/3ml

Research Overview

Overview: SS-31 is a synthetic, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide engineered to support mitochondrial bioenergetics and protect against oxidative stress. It selectively localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane by binding to cardiolipin, a phospholipid essential for electron transport chain stability. By stabilizing cardiolipin and mitochondrial complexes, SS-31 helps preserve mitochondrial structure, reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS), and maintain mitochondrial membrane potential-optimizing ATP production and cellular energy efficiency.

Research Findings

Stabilizes mitochondria and decreases apoptosis during stress Organ Function: Helps maintain cardiac, renal, and skeletal muscle performance

Degenerative Processes: Slowed progression of muscle atrophy, cardiomyopathy, and neurodegenerative changes in models

Recovery from Injury: Potentially improves recovery in ischemia-reperfusion, acute kidney injury, and metabolic stress

Exercise Tolerance: Supports muscle function and reduces fatigue in mitochondrial dysfunction models
