What Is MTP?
A mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide studied for cardiolipin stabilization.
01Definition
MTP is a mitochondrial research compound. A mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide studied for cardiolipin stabilization. It is also known as Elamipretide; MTP-131.
Sequence · D-Arg-2,6-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH2
02Research Mechanism
MTP is a cell-permeable, mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that concentrates on the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it selectively binds the phospholipid cardiolipin. Research models report that this interaction stabilizes cristae architecture and supports efficient electron transport.
