What is Humanin?
Humanin is a 24-amino-acid peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene, one of the first mitochondrial-derived peptides identified. It is studied for cytoprotective signalling through the gp130 receptor complex and as a member of a peptide class that includes MOTS-c. Pepstral supplies it as a lyophilized powder for in-vitro laboratory research only.

What does the certificate for lot HUM10-0803 show?
Every lot of Humanin is tested by an independent US laboratory before it is listed. The report for lot HUM10-0803 is in the COA library and the lot number printed on the vial matches it. The current results:
| Test | Method | Lot HUM10-0803 result |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | LC-MS/MS | Humanin · conforms |
| Content | HPLC quantitation | 10.60 mg |
| Purity | RP-HPLC (214 nm) | 99.79% |
| Endotoxin | USP <85> | <0.05 EU/mL |
| Heavy metals | USP <232> | <0.01 ppm |
How is Humanin handled and stored?
Sealed vials are stored at -20°C away from light and keep for 24 months. To reconstitute, add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl until clear; never shake. Once in solution, keep at 2 to 8°C and use within our 28-day default for a preserved solution. The concentration table gives the dilution volumes and microlitre aliquots for this vial.
Frequently asked questions
What makes humanin unusual?
It is encoded in the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear one, which is what defines the mitochondrial-derived peptide class.
How does it relate to MOTS-c?
Both are mitochondrial-derived peptides, but they come from different regions of the mitochondrial genome and signal through different pathways.
Is Humanin for human use?
No. Every product on this site is sold for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not for human or animal consumption, diagnostic or therapeutic use.
