Mitochondria-Derived Peptide | HN
Humanin was the first mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) discovered, originally cloned from the occipital lobe of an Alzheimer's patient. It is a 24-amino acid peptide encoded from the 16S rRNA region of mitochondrial DNA with potent neuroprotective, cytoprotective, and anti-apoptotic properties. Research shows humanin levels decline with age but remain stable in long-lived species like naked mole-rats, and offspring of centenarians have significantly higher humanin levels.
Humanin exerts its effects through multiple mechanisms. It interacts with cell surface receptors including FPRL1 and CNTFR, activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathways that promote cell survival. It blocks pro-apoptotic proteins like Bax, reduces beta-amyloid toxicity in neurons, protects against oxidative stress, and promotes mitochondrial biogenesis. These actions support healthy cellular aging at a fundamental level.

Originally discovered for its ability to protect against amyloid-β toxicity in neuronal cells.
Promotes mitochondrial biogenesis via PI3K/AKT signaling in PD models.
Broad neuroprotective effects against various neurotoxic insults.
Overexpression increases lifespan in C. elegans, dependent on daf-16/Foxo pathway.
HNG analog improves metabolic healthspan parameters in middle-aged mice.
Higher levels associated with longevity in centenarians and their offspring.
Protects various cell types from stress-induced damage and death.
Blocks pro-apoptotic proteins like Bax to prevent programmed cell death.
Promotes mitochondrial function and biogenesis.
Subcutaneous or intravenous injection. Benefits are slow-building and cellular, typically felt over weeks to months as the peptide supports mitochondria and reduces oxidative stress. The more potent analog HNG (glycine substitution at position 14) is 1000-fold more potent than native humanin.
| Goal | Dose | Frequency | Route |
