MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html).

Accession:MP:0009196 term browser browse the term
Definition:anomaly in the production and/or regulated release from pancreatic epsilon cells of a 28-amino acid, acylated, orexigenic peptide that acts centrally to stimulate growth hormone secretion and food intake, and peripherally to regulate energy homeostasis; it is cleaved from a large precursor protein, known as appetite-regulating hormone or motilin-related peptide, which contains both ghrelin and obestatin
Comment:Ghrelin-secreting cells are found mainly in the stomach and duodenum, but also in the jejunum, lungs, pancreatic islets, gonads, adrenal cortex, placenta, kidney and brain.
