Description
Humanin was the first mitochondrial-derived peptide discovered, encoded within the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene — a finding that upended assumptions about the mitochondrial genome.
Its literature covers cytoprotection against oxidative and metabolic stress, interactions with IGFBP-3 and Bax, and ischemia models, anchoring the broader field of mitochondrial peptide signalling that also produced MOTS-c.
