Humanin is a mitochondrial-derived peptide supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research. Its sequence is Met-Ala-Pro-Arg-Gly-Phe-Ser-Cys-Leu-Leu-Leu-Leu-Thr-Ser-Glu-Ile-Asp-Leu-Pro-Val-Lys-Arg-Arg-Ala (24 residues). Researchers study it in cytoprotection and mitochondrial signalling models, where short peptides are used as tools for examining sequence-specific binding and protein interactions. Kimera Chems supplies this material for controlled laboratory studies only.
Chemical Composition & Purity
Humanin has the molecular formula C₁₁₉H₂₀₄N₃₄O₃₂S₂ and a molecular weight of 2687.24 g/mol. It appears as a white to off-white lyophilized powder. Purity for this lot is documented on its batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, available for batch KC-HMN-PUR1.
Research Applications
Humanin is used as a reference peptide in cell-free and in vitro systems. Its 24-residue sequence gives a defined three-dimensional shape, and the side chain charges determine how it behaves in binding studies.
- Receptor Binding: Measuring peptide-protein affinity in cell-free systems.
- Competitive Assays: Examining displacement of labeled ligands.
- Structural Studies: Analyzing folding patterns in solution.
- Stability Testing: Monitoring degradation under various conditions.
Storage & Handling Protocol
Store at controlled room temperature, sealed and protected from light.
Storage guidance is a house recommendation. Analytical documentation is per-lot release testing.
Compliance & Usage Disclaimer
This product is for Research Use Only (RUO). It is not for human or animal consumption or clinical application. Kimera Chems supplies Humanin strictly to qualified institutions and researchers.
