Humanin (HN) is a small polypeptide, derived from mitochondria. This protein is secreted by various cells and is localized in the plasma and bound to the cell membranes.
Immunogen
peptide corresponding to the humanin protein (amino acids 9-24).
Application
Anti-Humanin (HN) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
Humanin (HN) acts as a neuroprotective factor. It is involved in promoting cell survival. Humanin suppresses cell death in the neuronal cells caused by Alzheimer′s disease-related insults like anti-amyloid- precursor protein antibody, neurotoxic amyloid β (Aβ) peptides, and familial Alzheimer disease proteins.
Physical form
Solution of 1 mg/mL in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Mitochondrial biogenesis and destruction in skeletal muscle are coordinated by distinct signaling pathways that are influenced by internal and exogenous variables including, but not limited to, muscle phenotype, physical activity, dietary composition, or drug administration. Previously we found that long-term
Decline in insulin action is a metabolic feature of aging and is involved in the development of age-related diseases including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). A novel mitochondria-associated peptide, Humanin (HN), has a neuroprotective role against
Humanin (HN) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide with cytoprotective effect in many tissues. Administration of HN analogs has been proposed as therapeutic approach for degenerative diseases. Although HN has been shown to protect normal tissues from chemotherapy, its role in tumor

Humanin (HN) is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that protects many cells/tissues from damage. We previously demonstrated that HN reduces stress-induced male germ cell apoptosis in rodents. HN action in neuronal cells is mediated through its binding to a trimeric cell membrane

Mitochondria have been largely considered as 'end-function' organelles, servicing the cell by producing energy and regulating cell death in response to complex signals. Being cellular entities with vital roles, mitochondria communicate back to the cell and actively engage in determining
