Humanin is a 21-amino acid peptide encoded by a small open reading frame within the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Its discovery was a significant finding in the field of mitochondrial biology, revealing that mitochondrial DNA encodes biologically active peptides.
Research on Humanin has spanned cytoprotection studies, insulin signaling pathway investigation, IGF-1 receptor interaction analysis, and age-associated cellular research. It has been studied in neuronal cell models, cardiomyocyte protection research, and metabolic research involving insulin resistance endpoints.
