Description

Humanin is a 21- to 24-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded directly within the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene. Supplied as a lyophilized research-grade compound for use in controlled research environments, it is studied as a cytoprotective signaling molecule with broad reach across organ systems in research models.

About Humanin (10mg)

Humanin is one of the first mitochondrial-derived peptides identified and remains among the most thoroughly characterized. It is studied in research models for its role as a stress-response signaling molecule released by mitochondria under cellular stress.

What It's Being Studied To Do

  • Protect cellular models against oxidative stress, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction
  • Support neuronal survival and neuroplasticity in research models of neurodegeneration
  • Influence insulin sensitivity and glucose handling in metabolic research models
  • Modulate inflammation and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) markers
  • Enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and bioenergetic markers
  • Promote cytoprotection in aging, cardiovascular, and metabolic research models

Why It Matters in Research

Mitochondria are cellular powerhouses and stress sensors — when damaged in research models they trigger inflammation, cell death, and accelerated aging markers. Humanin research explores how this small mitochondrial messenger participates in cellular resilience signaling.

Storage Instructions

All products from Rhema Research Labs are manufactured using a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process. This method is designed to maintain product integrity and allows vials to remain stable during shipping for approximately 3–4 months.

Once a vial is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, it should be stored in the refrigerator to help maintain stability. Under these conditions, reconstituted material is generally considered stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilization is a dehydration technique in which compounds are frozen and then exposed to low pressure. This causes the water in the vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure. This powder can be kept at room temperature until reconstitution.

Upon receipt, products should be stored away from heat and light. For short-term use, refrigeration at approximately 4°C (39°F) is suitable. For long-term storage (several months to years), vials may be placed in a freezer at approximately -80°C (-112°F). Freezing is the preferred method for preserving product stability over extended periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about our research-grade peptides and quality standards.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2-50 amino acids. They serve as the building blocks of proteins and play crucial roles in biological processes.

Research peptides are synthesized versions of naturally occurring peptides, manufactured to precise specifications for use in scientific studies.

Key characteristics: High purity (≥99%), lyophilized form for stability, accompanied by Certificates of Analysis (COA), and manufactured under strict quality control protocols.

Peptide purity refers to the percentage of the target peptide present in a sample, measured via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Our Standard: All our research peptides maintain ≥99% purity, verified by third-party laboratory testing and documented in our Certificates of Analysis.

Higher purity is critical for research because impurities can interfere with experimental results and compromise the reproducibility of studies.

All products are supplied in lyophilized powder form within sterile, sealed vials. This format provides:

  • Maximum stability: Extended shelf life compared to liquid solutions
  • Precise measurement: Researchers can work with desired quantities
  • Contamination protection: Sealed vials prevent environmental exposure
  • Shipping durability: Powder form is more stable during transit

Lyophilized peptides:

  • Store at -4°F for long-term storage (up to 24 months)
  • Store at 36-46°F (refrigerated) for short-term storage (up to 3 months)
  • Keep away from light, moisture, and repeated temperature fluctuations

We supply research-grade peptides to:

  • Academic and university research laboratories
  • Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
  • Independent research institutions
  • Licensed professionals conducting legitimate scientific research

We maintain rigorous quality control through a multi-step verification process:

  • HPLC Analysis: Every batch tested to verify ≥99% purity
  • Mass Spectrometry: Molecular weight confirmation for peptide identity
  • Third-Party Testing: Independent laboratory verification
  • Sterility Protocols: Aseptic handling and packaging procedures
  • Batch Documentation: Complete traceability from synthesis to delivery

"Research Use Only" (RUO) is a classification indicating that a product is intended exclusively for laboratory research and experimental investigation.

All orders are shipped with research-grade handling protocols:

  • Packaging: Insulated containers with cold packs when required
