Obestatin, rat, mouse

Obestatin (rat, mouse) is a synthetic 23-amino acid peptide hormone derived from the post-translational processing of preproghrelin, sharing its precursor with the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin. This research-grade peptide is recognized for its potential role in regulating energy balance and gastrointestinal function, though its biological effects and receptor mechanisms remain an area of active investigation in rodent models.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

The precise mechanism of action for obestatin is complex and not fully elucidated. It was initially proposed to act through the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR39 to exert effects opposite to ghrelin, such as suppressing food intake and inhibiting gastric emptying. However, subsequent studies have reported conflicting results, and its interaction with GPR39 remains controversial.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is indicated for basic research in endocrinology, metabolism, and gastroenterology using rat and mouse models. Key applications include: investigating the physiological role of obestatin in appetite regulation and body weight control, studying its effects on gastrointestinal motility and secretion, exploring its potential impact on pancreatic function and cell proliferation, and serving as a reference peptide in assays aimed at characterizing its receptor signaling and biological activity.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Obestatin (rat, mouse) is a research tool, and its therapeutic efficacy in humans is not established. Its "efficacy" in the research context is defined by its utility as a probe to understand the complex biology of the ghrelin gene-derived peptides. Studies in rodent models have yielded valuable, albeit sometimes contradictory, data on its metabolic effects.
