Research overview
Humanin is a peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome within the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (MT-RNR2). It was first described in 2001 in a search for factors that protect cells from amyloid beta. It has since been studied for neuroprotective, cytoprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects and in cardiovascular and metabolic models, including beta-cell survival and insulin sensitivity.
