Humanin (10mg vials)

Description

Humanin is a 24-residue mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA region (MT-RNR2). Its sequence (Met-Ala-Pro-Arg-Gly-Phe-Ser-Cys-Leu-Leu-Leu-Leu-Thr-Ser-Glu-Ile-Asp-Leu-Pro-Val-Lys-Arg-Arg-Ala) corresponds to an approximate molecular weight near 2,687 Da, and it remains one of the most frequently referenced mitochondrial-derived peptides in the cellular and biochemical literature.

Research interest centers on how this peptide may participate in cytoprotective and cellular stress-response signaling, mitochondrial biology, and metabolic regulation. Reported lines of investigation include its interactions with apoptosis-associated proteins and binding partners such as IGFBP-3, alongside models of oxidative and metabolic stress.
