SS-31, also known as elamipretide or MTP-131 in literature, is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide. It is mainly discussed for its interaction with cardiolipin-rich inner mitochondrial membranes.
The reason SS-31 stands out is that its literature is focused on mitochondrial structure and function, not general peptide signalling. Studies often discuss oxidative-stress models, membrane potential, cardiolipin interaction, and cellular bioenergetics.
Customers comparing mitochondrial research materials can place SS-31 alongside MOTS-c, NAD+, and SLU-PP-332, while recognizing that each has a different mechanism. The specification table covers the peptide identity and supplied analytical details.
