Humanin Research Profile

Humanin is a 21-amino-acid mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the 16S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome. First identified in 2001 in a screen for protective factors against Alzheimer’s-related neuronal death, Humanin has since been studied for cytoprotective, anti-apoptotic, and metabolic effects in preclinical models. Research has examined its interactions with insulin signaling, IGFBP-3, and its effects on cellular survival pathways. Humanin levels have been shown to decline with age. For research use only; not approved for human therapeutic application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What distinguishes Humanin from other mitochondrial-derived peptides?
A: Humanin was the first identified mitochondrial-derived peptide and remains the most extensively studied MDP. Unlike MOTS-C, which primarily affects metabolic pathways in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, Humanin research has focused heavily on neuroprotection, anti-apoptosis, and cardiovascular cytoprotection. Both are encoded in mitochondrial DNA but target different physiological processes.

Q: What cytoprotective mechanisms has Humanin research examined?
A: Research has documented Humanin’s ability to inhibit Bax-mediated apoptosis, reduce ER stress, and activate JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathways associated with cell survival. Studies have also examined its protective effects in cardiomyocytes under ischemia-reperfusion conditions and in neuronal models of beta-amyloid toxicity.

Q: Is batch-specific documentation available for Humanin orders?
A: Yes. Every Humanin batch is independently verified via HPLC and mass spectrometry. Certificates of analysis are available on request for all purchases from Official Peptides.
