SS-31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed to target and accumulate within the inner mitochondrial membrane. It binds selectively to cardiolipin, a phospholipid critical for mitochondrial function, thereby stabilizing mitochondrial structure and reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This peptide is provided in lyophilized powder form for research applications focusing on mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and cellular bioenergetics.
