Humanin - 10mg
Peptide Class: Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide / Cytoprotective Peptide
OVERVIEW
Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide first discovered in the human brain. It is composed of 24 amino acids and is studied for its potential role in cellular protection, metabolic regulation, and aging research.
Humanin is naturally produced within the mitochondria and is believed to help protect cells from oxidative stress, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and metabolic dysfunction. Because of these properties, it has become a subject of interest in research related to longevity, neuroprotection, and mitochondrial health.
Researchers frequently investigate Humanin in studies involving age-related cellular decline, metabolic health, and neurodegenerative disease models.
POTENTIAL RESEARCH BENEFITS
Cellular Protection
Investigated for its ability to protect cells from stress, toxicity, and programmed cell death.
Mitochondrial Function
May support mitochondrial health and cellular energy regulation.
Neuroprotection Research
Studied in models examining neuronal survival and cognitive health.
Aging & Longevity Studies
Humanin levels have been examined in research related to aging and lifespan regulation.
Metabolic Health
Researchers investigate its potential role in insulin signaling and metabolic pathways.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Humanin is believed to work by interacting with intracellular signaling pathways that regulate cell survival and stress response.
Research suggests it may:
Inhibit pathways that lead to apoptosis (cell death)
Support mitochondrial function and cellular energy balance
Influence insulin signaling and metabolic regulation
Provide protective effects against oxidative stress
These properties make Humanin a focus in mitochondrial biology and longevity research.

STORAGE:
To maintain product stability and quality:
Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term storage.
Short-term storage may be maintained at 2–8°C (refrigerated).
Keep the vial dry, sealed, and protected from light.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, as this may reduce peptide stability.
Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within a short timeframe according to laboratory protocols.
For Research Use Only
Not intended for human consumption, medical, or veterinary use.
