Abstract excerpt
Humanin (HN) was originally identified as an endogenous peptide that protects neuronal cells from apoptosis by mutant Alzheimer's disease genes. This 24-residue peptide has been recently shown to suppress apoptosis by interfering with activation of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) in cytosol. In the present study, we showed that HN increases ATP levels in human lymphocytes, muscular TE671 cells, and neural SKN-MC...
