Humanin

Description

Humanin – research mitochondrial peptide
(Research Use Only)

Humanin is a short mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) that naturally occurs in the body and is the subject of intensive research in the fields of cellular protection, metabolism, and aging processes. It has been identified as a factor with a potential role in protecting cells from stress and degenerative processes.

In scientific and preclinical studies, Humanin is used as a tool for analyzing mitochondrial signaling, neuroprotective mechanisms, and the regulation of metabolic pathways.

Mechanistic profile

Mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP)
Humanin belongs to peptides encoded by mitochondrial DNA that participate in communication between mitochondria and the cell nucleus.

🧬 Cellular protection (cytoprotection)
In laboratory models, its ability to protect cells from apoptosis and oxidative stress is being studied.

🧠 Neuroprotective mechanisms
Preclinical studies examine its effects on neuron protection and signaling pathways associated with neurodegeneration.

⚙ Metabolic regulation
Humanin is used to study insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, and energy balance.

🔬 Aging and longevity pathways
Research indicates its role in processes associated with aging, including the regulation of mitochondrial function and cell viability.

Research advantages

Humanin is primarily used in the following areas:

study of mitochondrial signaling
analysis of cellular protection and apoptosis
research of neurodegenerative processes
