Application

Coenzyme A functions as an acyl group carrier, acetyl-CoA. Octanoyl coenzyme A is a donor molecule for the acylation (octanylation) of Ghrelin and other peptides by ghrelin O-acyltransferase(s) (GOAT).

The ghrelin-ghrelin receptor system is one of the most important mechanisms regulating energy balance and metabolism. Among other actions, central and peripheral administration of ghrelin increases food intake and adiposity. During the last years, many efforts have been made in

Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid, appetite-stimulating peptide hormone secreted by the food-deprived stomach. Serine-3 of ghrelin is acylated with an eight-carbon fatty acid, octanoate, which is required for its endocrine actions. Here, we identify GOAT (Ghrelin O-Acyltransferase), a polytopic
