Background	Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid appetite stimulating peptide hormone secreted by enteroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract (P/D1-type cells in humans), especially the stomach, and circulates in the bloodstream during fasting conditions. It is initially produced as the inactivate molecule, preproghrelin. Ghrelin is known to prepare for food intake by increasing gastric motility and gastric acid secretion. Recent findings have shown that inactive ghrelin levels may lead to poor growth in children by altering Growth Hormone secretion or decreasing appetite. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Inactive Ghrelin coupled to a carrier protein.
