Allgemeine Beschreibung
Humanin (HN) is a natural short mitochondrial polypeptide with antiapoptotic and neuroprotective effects. Humanin protects cells against various diseases, including oxidative stress and cytotoxicity induced by various stimuli with broad-spectrum activity on the pancreas, brain, testis, and heart.
Biologische Aktivität
Humanin (HN/MTRNR2) has also been cloned as a BAX partner that could suppress apoptosis caused by staurosporine, serum deprivation, or u.v. irradiation. Using co-immunoprecipitation experiments, humanin specifically bound to BAX, tBID, and BimEL (BCL2L11), but not other BCL2 family proteins such as BCL2 and BCL-B (BCL2L10). Furthermore, the anti-apoptotic effect of humanin was specific to BAX-dependent apoptosis, as apoptosis by a BAX-independent stimulus, such as the use of tumor necrosis factor, was not suppressed. Humanin also interacts with insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), where it can block IGFBP3-induced apoptosis in glial cell lines but not in neuronal cell lines or primary neurons[1].
