Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Humanin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Humanin.

    Summary · context
    Through comparative genomic analyses the presence of putatively functional sORFs was investigated in birds.

    Among birds, the amino-acid sequences of the four putative sORF-encoded peptides, which include the humanin homolog, were strongly conserved, with p-distances of 5.6 to 25.4%.

    In plain wordsA computer analysis found that four bird peptide sequences, including a humanin-like one, were strongly conserved across bird species.

    Summary
    The amino-acid sequences of the four putative encoded peptides were strongly conserved among birds, with amino-acid p-distances (5.6 to 25.4%) similar to those calculated for typical avian mt-DNA-encoded proteins (14.8%).
