| Bioactivity | 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[1][2]. Humanin analogue, in which the serine at position 14 is replaced by glycine, names HNG[2]. |
| Invitro | Humanin (40 nM,罗丹明偶联;30 min) 抑制野生型 HCT116 细胞受 Bax 蛋白诱导的细胞死亡[1]。Humanin (100 μM;10 min) 阻断 Bax 与分离线粒体的关联,并抑制野生型 HCT116 细胞中细胞色素 c 的释放[1]。Humanin 减少 0.2 mM STS 诱导的细胞半凋亡[1]。Humanin 不能抑制 Bax 缺陷的 HCT116 细胞的凋亡[1]。 |
