Product Description: 
Humanin is a mitochondria-derived peptide encoded within the 16S rRNA region of the mitochondrial genome, making it — alongside MOTS-C — one of the pioneering mitochondria-derived peptides (MDPs) in longevity research. First identified in 2001 from surviving neurons in Alzheimer's disease brain tissue, Humanin has since been studied across a broad range of aging, metabolic, and neuroprotective research contexts.
Current research has explored Humanin in the following contexts: neuroprotection against Alzheimer's disease and amyloid beta toxicity, mitochondrial stress response and cellular survival signaling, insulin sensitivity and metabolic regulation, cardiovascular protection and atherosclerosis models, age-related decline and longevity research, and apoptosis inhibition and cell survival mechanisms.
 
Why Researchers Are Watching Humanin 
Humanin levels decline significantly with age across multiple tissues and species, establishing it as a potential biomarker of biological aging. Its dual role in neuroprotection and metabolic regulation makes it one of the most compelling mitochondria-derived peptides in current longevity research alongside MOTS-C.
