Comparison
While Dulaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1RA for type 2 diabetes that lowers HbA1c and body weight by enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion and reducing appetite6668, SS-31 improves mitochondrial bioenergetics, reduces oxidative stress, and shows protective effects in models of ischemia-reperfusion, neurodegeneration, and other mitochondrial disorders4637137.
While Dulaglutide works as a recombinant fusion protein consisting of two disulfide-linked GLP-1(7–37) analogs each covalently fused via a linker to an IgG4 Fc fragment, yielding a large, long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist protected from DPP-4 degradation66, SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide, d-Arg-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH2, that selectively binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing cristae structure, improving electron transport, and reducing ROS production4637137143.
Dulaglutide is amino acids long, whereas SS-31 is longer as it has a length of 4 amino acids. Dulaglutide is made up of a sequence of sequence data not available in the current dataset. SS-31 is made up of a sequence of Arginine, dimethylTyr, Lysine, Phenylalanine.
