Description
Elamipretide (SS-31) is a synthetic peptide studied in laboratory research focused on mitochondrial structure and bioenergetic signaling pathways. It serves as a research tool for examining peptide-mediated modulation of mitochondrial membrane dynamics.
Biochemical Characteristics
Elamipretide is a cell-permeable tetrapeptide designed to localize to mitochondria and associate with cardiolipin within the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its structure supports experimental evaluation of mitochondrial stability and oxidative phosphorylation processes.
Research Applications
Elamipretide is utilized in research models investigating mitochondrial bioenergetics, reactive oxygen species modulation, membrane potential regulation, and peptide-associated metabolic signaling mechanisms.
Pathway / Mechanistic Context
Mechanistic research focuses on Elamipretide interaction with cardiolipin and downstream effects on electron transport chain efficiency, ATP production dynamics, and mitochondrial stress signaling pathways.
Preclinical Research Summary
Preclinical investigations have evaluated Elamipretide in in vitro and experimental models to better understand mitochondrial function modulation and peptide-mediated bioenergetic regulation.
Form & Analytical Testing
Elamipretide is supplied as a lyophilized peptide and undergoes analytical verification, including HPLC testing, to confirm identity, purity, and composition consistency for laboratory research use.
