| HMRbase accession number | 10365 |
| Swiss-prot Accession number | Q9QYH7 (Sequence in FASTA format) |
| Description | Appetite-regulating hormone precursor (Growth hormone secretagogue)(Growth hormone-releasing peptide) (Motilin-related peptide)[Contains: Ghrelin; Obestatin-23; Obestatin-13]. |
| Source organism | Rattus norvegicus (Rat) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus. |
| Subcellular location | Secreted protein |
| Developmental Stage | N/A |
| Similarity | Belongs to the motilin family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Ghrelin is broadly expressed with higher expression in the stomach. Very low levels are detected in the hypothalamus, heart, lung, pancreas, intestine and adipose tissue. Obestatin is most highly expressed in jejunum, and also found in duodenum, stomach, pituitary, ileum, liver, hypothalamus and heart. Expressed in low levels in pancreas, cerebellum, cerebrum, kidney, testis, ovary colon and lung |
| Post translational modification | O-n-octanoylation is essential for ghrelin activity. The replacement of Ser-26 by aromatic tryptophan preserves ghrelin activity. Amidation of Leu-98 is essential for obestatin activity. |
| Function | Obestatin 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. |
