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.
