Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (21-24 amino acids) encoded by the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. It exhibits cytoprotective and neuroprotective functions by binding to intracellular molecules like Bax and cell membrane receptors. Research indicates applications in mitochondrial function, cellular longevity, neuroprotection, insulin resistance, and ischemia studies.
