Core Tip This study pioneers the discovery of a novel endogenous peptide, human liver transplantation peptide 1, directly from clinical human liver transplant samples using peptidomics. We demonstrate that human liver transplantation peptide 1 confers significant protection against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury by specifically inhibiting Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation and subsequent hepatocyte apoptosis. This work is the first to identify a therapeutically promising peptide of human origin with this mechanism for hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, offering a highly translatable and innovative strategy to improve outcomes in liver transplantation and other ischemic liver conditions.
