SS-31 — 10mg

What Is SS-31?

SS-31 is a synthetic peptide designed to target mitochondria, the organelles responsible for cellular energy production. It belongs to a class of peptides sometimes referred to as mitochondria-targeting peptides.

Mitochondria generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, a process that can produce reactive oxygen species as byproducts. Researchers study peptides like SS-31 to understand how mitochondrial signaling pathways regulate oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and cellular health.

SS-31 has attracted attention in mitochondrial biology research because of its ability to interact with mitochondrial membranes and influence bioenergetic processes.
