Comparison
While SS-31 improves mitochondrial bioenergetics, reduces oxidative stress, and shows protective effects in models of ischemia-reperfusion, neurodegeneration, and other mitochondrial disorders4637137, Thymosin Beta-4 promotes wound healing, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration in preclinical models via effects on cytoskeleton dynamics, cell migration, and anti-apoptotic pathways25579.
While SS-31 works as 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, Thymosin Beta-4 is an endogenous 43-amino-acid actin-sequestering peptide that maintains a pool of G-actin monomers and regulates actin polymerization, thereby influencing cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation25579.
SS-31 is 4 amino acids long, whereas Thymosin Beta-4 is longer as it has a length of 43 amino acids. SS-31 is made up of a sequence of Arginine, dimethylTyr, Lysine, Phenylalanine. Thymosin Beta-4 is made up of a sequence of Serine, Aspartic acid, Lysine, Proline, Aspartic acid, Methionine, Alanine, Glutamic acid, Isoleucine, Glutamic acid, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Aspartic acid, Lysine, Serine, Lysine, Lysine, Proline, Aspartic acid, Methionine, Alanine, Glutamic acid, Glutamic acid, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Aspartic acid, Lysine, Lysine, Glutamic acid, Lysine, Lysine, Glutamic acid, Glutamic acid, Alanine, Glutamic acid, Asparagine, Glutamic acid, Glutamic acid, Lysine, Glutamic acid, Serine.
