Mitochondria-Derived Peptide · Neuroprotective
Mitochondria-derived peptide encoded in the 16S rRNA region. Studied in neuroprotection, metabolic health, and cellular stress resistance.
Humanin is a small peptide (21 amino acids) encoded within the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene. It was discovered through screening for suppressors of Alzheimer's neurodegeneration. Research has expanded to metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular protection, and longevity pathway studies.
