Molecular Weight: 639.8 g/mol
Molecular Formula: C32H49N9O5
Sequence: D-Arg-Tyr(2,6-diMe)-Lys-Phe-NH₂.t
Mechanism of Action: SS-31 selectively concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) where it binds to cardiolipin, a crucial phospholipid for mitochondrial function. By doing so, it enhances electron transfer, improves ATP (cellular energy) production, and reduces the production of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). This action helps protect the mitochondria and surrounding cells from oxidative damage and apoptosis (cell death).
