Mitochondrial-derived peptide humanin as therapeutic target in cancer and degenerative diseases
24 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are encoded within the mitochondrial genome. They signal within the cell or are released to act as autocrine/paracrine/endocrine cytoprotective factors playing a key role in the cellular stress response. The first reported and better characterized MDP is humanin (HN), which exerts robust protective effects against a myriad of cytotoxic stimuli in many cell...
