DescriptionAppetite-regulating hormone precursor (Growth hormone secretagogue)(Growth hormone-releasing peptide) (Motilin-related peptide)[Contains: Ghrelin; Obestatin].
Source organismBos taurus (Bovine)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Cetartiodactyla; Ruminantia;Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos.
Subcellular locationSecreted protein (By similarity)
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the motilin family.
Tissue SpecificityN/A
Post translational modification O-n-octanoylation is essential for ghrelin activity (By similarity). Amidation of Leu-97 is essential for obestatin activity (By similarity).
Function 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
Protein Length116 Amino acids
