Humanin

$200.00

Humanin is a small, endogenous mitochondrial peptide composed of 24 amino acids, originally identified for its role in protecting cells from stress-induced apoptosis. It interacts with both intracellular and cell-surface receptors, influencing insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial signaling, and neuroprotective pathways.

  • Receptor Targets: Formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1), CNTFR complex

  • Key Feature: Mitochondrial-derived cytoprotective signaling

  • Research Focus Areas: Cellular survival, metabolic regulation, neuroprotection

  • Common Models: Neurodegeneration models, metabolic disorder studies

  • Mechanistic Interests: Anti-apoptotic signaling, mitochondrial–nuclear communication

It is used in research to study mitochondrial signaling peptides, cellular stress resistance, metabolic homeostasis, and survival pathways.
