SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide or Szeto-Schiller 31) is a novel synthetic tetrapeptide engineered to target and stabilize inner mitochondrial membranes. In cellular research, SS-31 selectively binds to cardiolipin, a critical phospholipid necessary for maintaining mitochondrial cristae structure and optimal electron transport chain functionality.
Key Research Areas:
