MOLECULE PROFILE

Humanin / Humanina

Peptide or peptide-related

Experimental inhibition of BAX-associated apoptosis.

Sources checked · October 16, 2026

Published for review · Scientific, medical, translation and citation review pending. Reported uses are not authorized indications. Frequency reflects mentions in supplied sources, not sales or global clinical prevalence.

Identity and synonyms

Identity follows the supplied name and synonyms; no additional identity description is supplied.

Synonyms: HN · HNG (analogue, separate)

Peptide or peptide-related · Peptide or peptide derivative

Detailed molecular class: Mitochondrial-derived peptide

Supplied sequence or chemical reference

See identity note; no supplier sequence accepted as verification.

Mechanism

Experimental inhibition of BAX-associated apoptosis.

Evidence and critical reading

Reported scientific and empirical uses

Aging research · Mitochondrial research

Promoted as cytoprotection and in mitochondrial stacks; distinguish native peptide from analogues.

Human evidence

No clinical anti-aging intervention benefit established by the cited mechanistic paper.

Preclinical evidence

Cellular and isolated-mitochondrial experiments; antiapoptosis is not automatically beneficial in every tissue.

Critical reading and limitations

BAX interaction was studied mechanistically; it does not demonstrate lower mortality or dementia in human users.

Evidence applies to the exact molecule, formulation, route, population and endpoint studied. Supplier identity, purity and clinical equivalence are unverified.

Source-specific regimens

Descriptive source observations, not individual recommendations.

Regulatory product labeling

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Human-study exposure

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Empirical handbook

No numerical human dose is assigned: reviewed sources did not verify a regimen attributable to this material, route and indication. Other molecules’ doses, animal exposures, vial amounts and dietary requirements are not substituted.

Regulation and safety

Jurisdiction-specific regulatory context

Jurisdiction-specific approval not verified in this card; do not infer global nonapproval.

Adverse effects and unknowns

Human safety, interactions and cancer-context effects unresolved.

Sufficient human data are lacking for dosing, interactions and long-term safety in these uses.

Contraindications

See supported safety statements and exact product label; a complete contraindication set has not been established for this catalog material.

A complete list must match the exact authorized product. For experimental materials without verified human labeling, a complete contraindication set is not established here. No list does not mean safety.

Interactions

Only explicitly cited interactions may be asserted; unstudied combinations remain unknown, not interaction-free.

Separate documented interaction, pharmacologic plausibility and unknown interaction. Absence of a blend trial does not establish compatibility.

Studies and trials

Selected studies

No selected studies are attributed in this record.

Trials attributed in the package

No trials are attributed in this record.

Trial registration does not establish efficacy or validate commercial material.
