Humanin 10mg is a research vial of the 24-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide from Peptide Sciences, used in neuroprotection and ageing research.
Humanin Research Overview
Humanin was discovered in a screen for factors protecting neurons from Alzheimer’s-related toxicity. It acts through receptors including FPRL1 and a gp130-containing complex, and studies associate it with protection against oxidative stress and apoptosis, insulin-sensitivity effects and longevity in animal models.

Research Considerations
Cell-survival assays with Humanin usually expose neurons or other cells to amyloid-beta, oxidative stress or serum withdrawal, then measure apoptosis markers such as caspase-3 activity.
Quality Control, COA and Shipping
Before any batch reaches the catalog it is tested for purity by HPLC and verified by mass spectrometry against its theoretical mass. A Certificate of Analysis accompanies each shipment, and all material is stored cold and protected from light until dispatch.
