Obestatin, Human

Obestatin is a 23-residue amidated peptide derived from the preproghrelin precursor. It has been investigated in gastrointestinal motility, feeding, metabolism and pancreatic or cardiovascular signaling.

• neuroendocrine signaling
• GPCR and hormone-receptor pharmacology
• metabolic and feeding studies
• reproductive or gastrointestinal research

Exact species, terminal amidation, disulfide connectivity and post-translational modifications such as ghrelin acylation define the reagent and can strongly alter biological activity.
