Humanin in Baltimore, Maryland

Humanin is a 24-amino acid mitochondrial-derived peptide first discovered in 2001 from a cDNA library of the brain of a patient with Alzheimer's disease. It was the first member of the now-expanding class of mitochondrial-derived peptides to be identified. Humanin is encoded in the 16S ribosomal RNA gene of the mitochondrial genome and has been found in multiple tissues throughout the body, with circulating levels declining significantly with age. Its discovery opened an entirely new chapter in our understanding of mitochondrial signaling and its role in neuroprotection and longevity.
