SS-31
Power-plant-targeting peptide
SS-31 is a small lab-made peptide of just four amino acids. It is designed to gather inside the cell's tiny power plants, where energy is made.
Also known as Elamipretide · MTP-131 · Bendavia · Szeto-Schiller peptide 31
How it is studied
In the research it is described as attaching to a fat molecule in the inner wall of the power plant. Scientists study how that attachment relates to how smoothly the power plant makes energy.
Research context
A commonly used reference compound in lab research on how the power plants make energy and how cells cope with damage from unstable molecules.
Good to know
Results from human studies have been mixed, and work on it is still going on. Treat it as a research compound only.
Research area
Longevity, mitochondrial & cellular research. Every cell has its own tiny built-in power plants that make the energy it needs to run. Scientists study the compounds in this group in the lab to learn about cell energy and the biology of aging. They are research tools only, with no established use in people.
