Function
Catalyzes ghrelin acylation at 'Ser-3' using preferentially octanoyl-CoA, hexanoyl-CoA and decanoyl-CoA as acyl-CoA donors leading to ghrelin activity. In vitro uses also acyl-CoA donors of different lengths from short-chain (C2) to long-chain fatty acids (C16) knowing that acyl-CoA donors from butanoyl-CoA (C4) to dodecanoyl-CoA (C12) are more efficient compared to longer acyl-CoA donors, such as myristoyl-CoA (C14) and palmitoyl-CoA (C16) that are not efficient.
Tissue Specificity Expressed predominantly in stomach with moderate levels in pancreas and relatively low levels in most other tissues.
Reactome Pathway
Synthesis, secretion, and deacylation of Ghrelin (R-HSA-422085 )
