除胃饥饿素(Ghrelin)外,Ghrelin基因还能衍生出多种具有活性的产物。本文对Ghrelin基因衍生肽进行了介绍,并对2种主要的产物去酰化胃饥饿素(Des—acyl ghrelin)和肥胖抑制素(Obestatin)的分布、主要功能及其分泌调节等内容进行了综述,旨在为开展其在动物生产领域中的研究提供理论基础。
Ghrelin gene can generate various bioactive molecules besides Ghrelin. In this review, not only the Ghrelin derived peptide were introduced, but the physiological functions, distribu- tions and the factors which affect secretion of Des-acyl ghrelin and Obestatin were reviewed. This paper aimed to provide theoretical basis for future researches on Des-acyl ghrelin and Obestatin in the field of animal production.
