SS 31 10mg
£28.99 GBP
SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide or MTP-131) is a synthetic, cell-penetrating peptide that targets the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is classified as a mitochondria-targeting antioxidant peptide.
Purpose and Mechanism:
The primary function of SS-31 is to selectively localize to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it interacts with cardiolipin. By binding to cardiolipin, SS-31 helps to stabilize the membrane structure and prevent the excessive production of damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). This mechanism effectively protects the mitochondria from oxidative stress and improves their energy-producing capacity.
Key Research Benefits:
-
Mitochondrial Protection: Provides targeted antioxidant protection to the mitochondria.
-
Energy Efficiency: Supports improved function and efficiency of the electron transport chain.
-
Cellular Health: Widely researched for its potential therapeutic applications in conditions linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage.
Product Specification:
This product is supplied as 10mg of high-purity SS-31.
Note: This product is sold strictly for research purposes only.
