258279-04-8 Usage
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 258279-04-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, is synthesized principally in the stomach. It stimulates food intake and transduces signals to hypothalamic regulatory nuclei that control energy homeostasis. It is a peptide of 28 amino acids, in which the serine 3 residue is n-octanoylated, which is necessary for biological activity.
2. The GHS-R (growth hormone secretagogue receptor) potently stimulates growth hormone release from the pituitary gland in vivo and in vitro. It stimulates food intake and transduces signals to hypothalamic regulatory nuclei that control energy homeostasis. Ghrelin (human) is an activator of GHS-R1a.
Biological Activity
ghrelin is a specific endogenous ligand for the ghs receptor which can stimulate strong increase in circulating gh levels both in vitro and in vivo in a dose-dependent manner, human acylated ghrelin is the major active form that can cross the blood-brain barrier, and has an effection on the activity of arcute neurones with a much stronger affinity (ic50, 0.3×10-9m) than ghsr antagonist (d-lys3)-ghrp-6 (ic50, 0.9×10-6m)[1].ghrelin has effects in stimulating appetite, increasing secretion of gh and hypo-catabolism, improvement of gastrointestinal motility, increasing cardiac output, improvement of pulmonary function and anti-inflammatory effect.clinical applications of ghrelin in total gastrectomy, esophagectomy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy can stimulate food intake, improve guality of life scores and minimize adverse events. recently, ghrelin as a effective approach in the management of anorexia nervosa[2],cachexia[3], bw[4] and appetite loss[5], systemic inflammatory response[6]and cancer[7]. in conclusion, ghrelin is a promising candidate for treating catabolic states and enhancing immune function in cachexia or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, as well as for treating eating disorders such as obesity and anorexia nervosa.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 258279-04-8 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 2,5,8,2,7 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 258279-04:
(8*2)+(7*5)+(6*8)+(5*2)+(4*7)+(3*9)+(2*0)+(1*4)=168
168 % 10 = 8
So 258279-04-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
