Product Details
SS31 is a synthetic, mitochondrial-targeted peptide with the sequence D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2. It is designed to penetrate the mitochondrial membrane and interact with cardiolipin, a phospholipid that plays a crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial structure and function.
Mechanism of Action:
SS31 exerts its therapeutic effects by:
-
- Protecting mitochondria from oxidative stress: It scavenges free radicals and prevents mitochondrial damage.
- Improving mitochondrial respiration: It enhances electron transport and ATP production.
- Protecting mitochondria from oxidative stress: It scavenges free radicals and prevents mitochondrial damage.
- Regulating mitochondrial dynamics: It modulates mitochondrial fission and fusion, maintaining a healthy mitochondrial network.
- Reducing inflammation: It suppresses the production of inflammatory cytokines.
Therapeutic Applications:
SS31 has shown promise in treating various conditions associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, including:
- Neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Cardiovascular diseases: Heart failure, myocardial infarction
- Kidney disease: Diabetic nephropathy
- Aging: It may have anti-aging effects by preserving mitochondrial function
