Proteins/UNIPROT:Q9UBU3
Precursor of the appetite-regulating peptide ghrelin, including ghrelin-27 and ghrelin-28..
[Ghrelin-27]: Ghrelin is the ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR). Induces the release of growth hormone from the pituitary. Has an appetite-stimulating effect, induces adiposity and stimulates gastric acid secretion. Involved in growth regulation..
[Ghrelin-28]: Ghrelin is the ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR). Octanoylated ghrelin-28 is the most commonly found ghrelin and octanoylation is essential for the activation of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR). Induces the release of growth hormone from the pituitary. Has an appetite-stimulating effect, induces adiposity and stimulates gastric acid secretion. Involved in growth regulation..
[Obestatin]: May have an appetite-reducing effect resulting in decreased food intake (By similarity). May reduce gastric emptying activity and jejunal motility (By similarity)..
