Ghrelin, human, Biotin-labeled

Biotin-labeled human ghrelin is a synthetic peptide hormone modified at the N-terminus to support detection, immobilization, and receptor-binding assays. Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid orexigenic hormone secreted mainly by gastric P/D1 cells and released during fasting to stimulate appetite and regulate energy balance. Its endogenous activity depends on n-octanoylation of Ser3, which enables high-specificity binding to growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a. Biotin-labeled human ghrelin is widely used in metabolic and endocrine research to study appetite regulation, ghrelin receptor signaling, hormone-receptor interactions, obesity mechanisms, and energy homeostasis.
