Szeto-Schiller Peptides

Meaning

Szeto-Schiller Peptides, also known as SS peptides, are a class of synthetic, cell-permeable peptides specifically engineered to target and protect the mitochondria within cells. These compounds are characterized by their sequence, often containing alternating aromatic and basic amino acids, which allows them to concentrate selectively on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Their therapeutic potential lies in their ability to stabilize mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress, and mitigate cellular damage in various disease states. This mechanism offers a novel strategy for anti-aging and chronic disease management.
