Des-Gln14-Ghrelin(Cat No.:P000062)is a naturally occurring splice variant of ghrelin, the stomach-derived peptide hormone that regulates appetite, energy balance, and growth hormone release. Unlike native ghrelin, it lacks the glutamine residue at position 14, yet retains biological activity through binding to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR1a). This peptide stimulates growth hormone secretion, modulates glucose metabolism, and influences feeding behavior. Des-Gln14-Ghrelin is commonly used in endocrinology and metabolic research to study ghrelin receptor signaling, appetite regulation, and potential therapeutic applications in obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
