What is SHLP2?
SHLP2 is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the mitochondrial 16S rRNA region. It has been investigated for roles in metabolic regulation, cell-survival signaling, and mitochondrial function, but published data remain limited.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms

cell survival
mitochondrial signaling
Research Summary
Available literature is sparse but suggests a role in stress response and metabolic homeostasis in model systems. It is still an experimental peptide with no established therapeutic dose.
