Motilin, Human

Motilin is a 22-residue gastrointestinal peptide hormone that activates the motilin receptor and coordinates the fasting migrating motor complex. It is widely used to study gastrointestinal motility and enteric endocrine signaling.

• gastrointestinal hormone research
• incretin and metabolic signaling
• gut-brain axis studies
• GPCR and endocrine pharmacology

Exact peptide boundaries and C-terminal amidation are integral to product identity. In incretin studies, distinguish intact bioactive hormones from DPP-4-cleaved metabolites and analogs.
