Quick Summary
Neuroprotective mitokine — cellular protection and longevity
Also called: HN
What is Humanin?
Humanin is a 21-amino acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial 16S rRNA. It was originally discovered as a factor that protects neurons from Alzheimer's disease-related cell death. Research has since expanded to show its role in protecting against various forms of cellular stress, improving insulin sensitivity, and potentially extending lifespan.
How It's Made
Humanin is a naturally occurring mitochondria-derived peptide. For research use, it is produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis. Available as a lyophilized powder for injection.
