Description |
Humanin is a member of a new family of peptides that are encoded by short open reading frames within the mitochondrial genome. |
Uses |
Humanin (HN) is a secreted mitochondrial-encoded peptide with neuroprotective effects. It is a mitochondrial-derived peptide, comprises of 24 amino acids, and encoded by a 75-bp ORF. HN protects cells against various diseases, including diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. HN exerts pro-apoptotic activity of TNF-α in cancer, which makes HN as a novel therapeutic agent. |
We analyzed infarct size in the cortex and striatum separately to verify whether the protective effect of HNG on infarct volume is similar in these parts of the brain. Overall, Humanin treatment decreased the infarct volume in cortex by 54% and the infarct volume in striatum by 45%. This data indicates that HN reduces infarct size in both cortex and striatum (P<0.01).
We report a novel gene, designated Humanin (HN) cDNA, that suppresses neuronal cell death by K595N/M596L-APP (NL-APP), a mutant causing familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), termed Swedish mutant.
