General description

Ghrelin is a gastric acyl-peptide or an orexigenic digestive hormone. It is synthesized by the ghrelin producing cells in the gastric oxyntic mucosa. GHRL gene is mapped to human chromosome 3p25-p26.

Application

Ghrelin human has been used to study the influence of leptin and ghrelin on secretory function of equine corpus luteum (CL) in vitro.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Endogenous ligand to the orphan growth-hormone secretagogue receptor that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary.
Ghrelin participates in cell proliferation. It plays a major role in sleep and memory. Ghrelin is also associated with depression, especially for particular endophenotypes. It promotes growth hormone (GH) release in central nervous system.
