Literature

Research context

Humanin was identified in a screen of surviving neurons and is translated from a short open reading frame in mitochondrial DNA. The literature covers its binding to the formyl peptide receptor FPRL1 and the tripartite CNTFR/WSX-1/gp130 receptor complex, BAX interaction in apoptosis assays, and its relationship to the wider mitochondrial-derived peptide family including MOTS-c.

Documented research areas

  • Mitochondrial-derived peptide biology
  • FPRL1 and gp130 receptor engagement
  • BAX interaction in apoptosis assays
  • Cytoprotection in neuronal culture
