| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the motilin family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the telencephalon; hypothalamus; pituitary; intestine; liver; spleen and gill; with expression strongest in the intestine. |
| Post Translational Modification | O-octanoylation or O-decanoylation is essential for activity. The O-decanoylated form differs in the length of the carbon backbone of the carboxylic acid forming an ester bond with Ser-29. |
| Function | Ligand for growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1 (GHSR). Induces the release of growth hormone from the pituitary. Induces adiposity and stimulates gastric acid secretion. Involved in growth regulation. Has an appetite-stimulating effect. |
