Humanin is a 24-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 16S rRNA gene of the mitochondrial genome. First identified in surviving neurons from Alzheimer’s disease research, Humanin has been extensively studied for its cytoprotective properties in laboratory settings. Research has examined its interactions with IGFBP-3, BAX, and the FPRL-1 receptor system. Humanin represents one of the most widely published mitochondrial-derived peptides in contemporary research literature.
