Description:
Humanin is a small, naturally occurring 24–amino acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial genome (MT-RNR2). First discovered in 2001, it has been studied for its potential roles in cellular stress responses, mitochondrial signaling, and neuroprotective mechanisms.
Research Notes:
-
Encoded in the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene.
-
Interacts with receptor complexes such as CNTFR/WSX-1/gp130.
-
Investigated for effects in oxidative stress, metabolic regulation, and neuroprotection.
-
Frequently used in in-vitro and in-vivo research models.
-
Highly stable when stored as lyophilized powder at -20 °C.
Form: Lyophilized powder, ≥98% purity (HPLC).
Storage Guidelines:
-
Lyophilized: Store at -20 °C, protect from light/moisture.
-
Reconstituted: Store at 2–8 °C, avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
