Description
Humanin was the first peptide ever found to be encoded by mitochondrial DNA, and it remains one of the most studied compounds in aging biology. Limitless Life Nootropics supplies it in the USA in Non-Lyophilized grade.
What Is Humanin?
The peptide was discovered in 2001 by Japanese researchers searching for factors that protected neurons from damage associated with Alzheimer’s disease. It is encoded within the 16S rRNA gene of mitochondrial DNA and consists of 24 amino acids.
Laboratory studies have examined its ability to bind pro-apoptotic proteins such as BAX and to act on cell-surface receptors, which together appear to protect cells from various stresses. Circulating levels decline with age in both animals and humans, and higher levels have been associated with longevity in some research populations.
This product is supplied in Non-Lyophilized grade. A combined blend with MOTS-C is also available.
Areas of Scientific Investigation
Laboratory studies have explored this peptide across several areas of investigation:
- Neuronal protection in Alzheimer’s disease models
- BAX binding and apoptosis inhibition
- Insulin sensitivity and metabolic research
- Cardiovascular protection models
- Longevity and aging biomarkers
Researchers can review peer-reviewed studies on this compound through the National Library of Medicine (PubMed) database.
