| Description | Appetite-regulating hormone precursor (Growth hormone secretagogue)(Growth hormone-releasing peptide) (Motilin-related peptide)[Contains: Ghrelin; Obestatin]. |
| Source organism | Sus scrofa (Pig) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Cetartiodactyla; Suina; Suidae;Sus. |
| Subcellular location | Secreted protein (By similarity) |
| Developmental Stage | N/A |
| Similarity | Belongs to the motilin family. |
| Tissue Specificity | N/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). |
| 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 Length | 118 Amino acids |
