Humanin
Also known as: HN
Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. It was discovered through its ability to protect neurons from Alzheimer's disease-related toxicity and is studied for neuroprotection, metabolic regulation, and anti-aging applications.

Circulating Humanin Improves the Prognostic Accuracy of Cardiovascular Risk Models in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
Introduction Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (CVMM) remain highly prevalent among end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD). Nevertheless, risk prediction in this setting is limited by the complexity of factors involved and the individual patients' characteristics.

Humanin as an evolutionarily tuned mitochondrial peptide: Insights from mammalian oxidative stress diversity
Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide with cytoprotective properties, but how it has evolved in response to different oxidative stress levels in mammals is not fully understood. This study examines how Humanin sequences have adapted to species-specific metabolic and environmental pressures.
