A novel rat gene encoding a Humanin‐like peptide endowed with broad neuroprotective activity

21 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

We report the identification of a novel rat cDNA encoding a peptide homologous to Humanin, a secreted peptide that specifically protects against neuronal cell death induced by beta-amyloid peptide (Ab) or by mutations causing early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease. The rat gene, which we termed Rattin, encodes a peptide of 38 residues (15 residues longer than Humanin) showing 73% identity in the conserved...
