Humanin 10mg Product Information
Humanin 10 mg research-grade lyophilized peptide powder in a glass vial. Humanin is a naturally occurring 24–amino-acid micropeptide, also known as HN peptide, encoded within the mitochondrial genome and studied in experimental models for its potent cytoprotective and anti-apoptotic properties. Research Use Only: All products are intended exclusively for laboratory and scientific research. Not for human or veterinary use. Purity 99%+ (HPLC, third-party tested) Form Lyophilized peptide powder Content 10 mg Humanin peptide per vial Packaging Glass vial with sterile closure Storage Store lyophilized at 2–8 °C in a dry, dark place Molecular formula C119H204N34O32S2 Molecular weight ~2687.1 g·mol⁻¹ Sequence Met-Ala-Pro-Arg-Gly-Phe-Ser-Cys-Leu-Leu-Leu-Leu-Thr-Ser-Glu-Ile-Asp-Leu-Pro-Val-Lys-Arg-Arg-Ala CAS number 330936-69-1 In laboratory workflows, lyophilized research peptides are typically handled with suitable sterile diluents such as bacteriostatic water (BAC). For a compatible research-only solvent, see Bacteriostatic water – 10 ml . Research Overview Humanin is a mitochondria-derived micropeptide originally identified in surviving neurons from neurodegeneration models. In research settings it is widely used as a cytoprotective tool to study anti-apoptotic signaling, mitochondrial stress responses and survival pathways in neural, endocrine and metabolic tissues, without implying any therapeutic use. Primary Research Areas Anti-apoptotic & cytoprotective pathways: Experimental assays exploring Humanin-mediated inhibition of apoptosis, including modulation of Bax/Bcl-2 family proteins and downstream caspase activation.
