  • Description

    Obestatin (human) is a 23-amino acid peptide hormone derived from the posttranslational processing of the preproghrelin protein. It is characterized by a C-terminal amidation, a modification critical for its biological activity. This peptide is encoded by the same gene as ghrelin, but represents a distinct, conserved region flanked by potential convertase cleavage sites within the prohormone precursor.

    The peptide functions as an endogenous ligand for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR39, which belongs to the same receptor subfamily as the ghrelin receptor. Upon binding, obestatin activates specific intracellular signaling pathways, including stimulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate production. Its physiological actions are primarily studied in the context of gastrointestinal function, where it modulates jejunal contractile activity.

  • About TFA salt

    Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.

    Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.

    Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.

    In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
