Humanin, an anti-apoptotic peptide of 24 amino acids , is a Bax inhibitor. Humanin prevents the translocation of Bax from cytosol to mitochondria, blocks Bax from the inactive to active conformation. Humanin is a mitochondria-associated peptide with a neuroprotective effect against AD-related neurotoxicity. Humanin also improves overall insulin sensitivity in animal. Humanin are related to aging Humanin analogue, in which the serine at position 14 is replaced by glycine, names HNG . In Vitro Humanin (40 nM, rhodamine-conjugated; 30 min) inhibits cell death induced by Bax protein in wild-type HCT116 cells. Humanin (100 μM; 10 min) blocks Bax association with isolated mitochondria, and suppresses cytochrome c release in wild-type HCT116 cells. Humanin reduces half apoptosis induced by 0.2 mM STS. Humanin fails to suppress apoptosis in Bax-deficient HCT116 cells. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. In Vivo Humanin (0.375 mg/kg/hr; i.v.) increases peripheral insulin sensitivity in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Form:Solid IC50& Target:Bax
