Scientific Background
SS-31 is a short aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂) that readily penetrates cell membranes and accumulates within mitochondria. It has been investigated for its ability to bind cardiolipin and protect mitochondrial cristae structure, thereby reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and supporting efficient electron transport in preclinical studies. These characteristics make SS-31 a useful research tool for studying mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and cellular metabolism.
Applications in Research
- Mitochondrial bioenergetics and cardiolipin interaction studies
- Oxidative stress and ROS regulation models
