Overview
Humanin is encoded in mitochondrial DNA. It was discovered in a search for factors that protect brain cells from damage linked to Alzheimer's disease.
It helps cells survive stress by blocking cell-death signals and improving insulin sensitivity. Its levels decline with age, which has made it a topic in longevity research.
