Humanin

Humanin – Research-Grade Synthetic 24-Amino Acid Peptide

Humanin is a synthetic peptide corresponding to a 24–amino acid sequence
originally identified as a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP). It represents
a defined single-chain peptide construct distinct from larger mitochondrial
proteins and multi-domain biologics. Its sequence-specific structure allows
for controlled experimental evaluation in laboratory research environments.

In vitro, Humanin is utilized as a reference material for studying
peptide–protein interaction models, mitochondrial-associated signaling motifs,
and structure–function relationships within short bioactive peptide systems.
Its moderate molecular length permits reproducible synthesis and analytical
characterization under controlled conditions.

Unlike intact mitochondrial proteins, Humanin functions as a discrete and
chemically defined peptide entity, supporting mechanistic assays and
comparative peptide investigations without the complexity of large
macromolecular assemblies. This material is intended strictly for laboratory
research use only and is not designed for human or veterinary application.
