HMRbase accession number10352
Swiss-prot Accession numberQ9GKY5 (Sequence in FASTA format)
DescriptionAppetite-regulating hormone precursor (Growth hormone secretagogue)(Growth hormone-releasing peptide) (Motilin-related peptide)[Contains: Ghrelin; Obestatin].
Source organismSus scrofa (Pig)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Cetartiodactyla; Suina; Suidae;Sus.
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-99 is essential for obestatin activity (By similarity).
FunctionObestatin may be the ligand for GPR39. May have an appetite-reducing effect resulting in decreased food intake. May reduce gastric emptying activity and jejunal motility
Protein Length118 Amino acids
Molecular weight12786
