DescriptionAppetite-regulating hormone precursor (Growth hormone secretagogue)(Growth hormone-releasing peptide) (Motilin-related peptide)[Cleaved into- - Ghrelin; Obestatin].
OrganismPapio hamadryas
TxonomyEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini;Catarrhini; Cercopithecidae; Cercopithecinae; Papio.
Subcellular LocationSecreted
Developmental StageNA
SimilarityBelongs to the motilin family.
Tissue SpecificityNA
Post Translational ModificationO-n-octanoylation is essential for ghrelin activity. Amidation of Leu-98 is essential for obestatin activity.
FunctionGhrelin 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
