Humanin is a 24-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived research peptide studied for its role in cellular protection. It was originally discovered within mitochondrial DNA. Since then, it has gained strong interest in scientific research.
Importantly, Humanin is classified as a mitochondrial-encoded peptide (MDP). As a result, it plays a unique role in mitochondrial biology research. In addition, studies suggest that Humanin interacts with several cellular receptors.
Moreover, research indicates that Humanin may support pathways linked to oxidative stress response. It is also studied for its potential involvement in mitochondrial stability. Furthermore, scientists investigate its role in apoptosis-related signaling mechanisms.
Because of these properties, Humanin is frequently explored in neurodegenerative research models. Likewise, it is studied in metabolic and aging-related cellular research. Therefore, it has become relevant in longevity science investigations.
