[Des-octanoyl]-Ghrelin, human – 1 mg

Overview

[Des-octanoyl]-Ghrelin, human is a critical peptide that serves as the unacylated precursor to Ghrelin. This peptide plays a fundamental role in various physiological processes. It’s converted into Ghrelin through the enzymatic addition of an octanyl group, making it essential for understanding the regulation of appetite and energy balance. If you’re working on research or projects involving Ghrelin or appetite regulation, this peptide should be a staple in your laboratory. With a higher circulation level compared to Ghrelin, approximately twenty times more, [Des-octanoyl]-Ghrelin provides insights into metabolic processes and potential therapeutic targets in obesity and metabolic disorders.
