This protein is responsible for the activation of the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase in a pathway that includes Akt by acting as a ligand for GHSR, a growth hormone receptor.
This protein is responsible for the activation of the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase in a pathway that includes Akt by acting as a ligand for GHSR, a growth hormone receptor. When found in the hippocampus this hormone contributes to neurotrophy, and its active form has a notable octanoylated form.  Patients with Prader-Willi disease are found to have increased levels of this hormone. Produced by P/D1 cells, it was first discovered by Kojima et al. in 1999. One function of this hormone features the suppression of fat utilization in adipose tissue. Antagonistic to leptin, for ten points, name this hormone also found in the epsilon cells of the Islets of Langerhans that is produced in the stomach and stimulates appetite as its main function.
