Research Summary
SS-31 (Elamipretide, MTP-131) is a synthetic aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide belonging to the Szeto-Schiller family of mitochondrial-targeting peptides. It is investigated in mitochondrial and oxidative stress research for its selective localisation to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds cardiolipin — a key phospholipid involved in maintaining mitochondrial membrane integrity and electron transport chain organisation. Its alternating aromatic-cationic structure makes it a compound of significant interest in bioenergetics, cellular stress response, and mitochondrial function research.
