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.

Prices observed from public storefronts (last 24h), normalized to $/mg. "Evidence" is Merit's 0–100 Merit Score, derived only from observable verification evidence (methodology on /about); "Purity" is the latest independent COA. Some buy links are affiliate links — Merit may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and where a vendor offers one, the code shown gets you a discount at their checkout. Affiliate status never affects price data, ranking, or the Merit Score (full policy on /disclosure). Research use only.

Low Dose Ketamine Preconditions Astrocyte Mitochondria to Achieve Antidepressant Efficacy via Adenosine, Humanin, and Melatonin Upregulation and Efflux
Understanding the physiological changes induced by ketamine in mood disorders, while reducing its side effects, is likely to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the physiology underlying mood disorders, as well as to the development of faster-acting and more efficacious antidepressant treatments.

Mitochondrial-derived peptide Humanin protects granulosa cells under oxidative conditions
In brief: Redox imbalance compromises granulosa cell survival and follicle fate. This study identifies the mitochondrial-derived peptide Humanin (HN) as a cytoprotective factor that protects granulosa cells under oxidative condItions. Abstract: Granulosa cell function is essential for proper ovarian physiology.
