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.Obestatin may be the ligand for GPR39. May have an appetite-reducing effect resulting in decreased food intake. May reduce gastric emptying activity and jejunal motility.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.
Ghrelin influences a variety of physiological processes beyond hunger regulation. It plays a role in modulating the release of growth hormone by acting on the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). Ghrelin also affects gastric motility and acid secretion due to its expression in the gastrointestinal tract. Though not part of a larger complex its interaction with GHS-R strongly influences its biological functions. Ghrelin may also impact insulin secretion and sensitivity linking it to glucose metabolism processes.
Ghrelin also known as the "hunger hormone" or GH secretagogue is a peptide hormone with a mass of 28 amino acids. Ghrelin is mainly expressed in the stomach particularly in the enteroendocrine cells but it can also be found in small amounts in the lungs pancreas and hypothalamus. The hormone increases food intake and promotes fat storage by signaling the brain to stimulate hunger. Its secretion occurs in response to fasting and is suppressed by food intake reflecting its role in energy balance.
Ghrelin interacts with several critical biological networks. Ghrelin is involved in the neuroendocrine pathway that connects the gut to the brain and contributes significantly to energy homeostasis. Within this pathway it influences proteins like leptin which exerts opposite effects by suppressing hunger. Additionally ghrelin functions in the hedonic control of eating which relates to the rewarding aspects of food intake controlled by pathways involving dopamine.
Ghrelin holds relevance to obesity and cachexia a form of extreme weight loss often seen in chronic illness. Ghrelin promotes adiposity by stimulating appetite which can contribute to obesity. Conversely in cachexia the decrease in ghrelin activity is thought to exacerbate weight loss. Its role in energy balance associates ghrelin with the protein leptin which counterbalances its effects and connections to metabolic disorders. Understanding ghrelin’s functions and pathways provides insight into therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
