Figure 2 Diagram summarising the similarities and diversities of ghrelin and unacylated ghrelin activities in gastrointestinal and selected peripheral tissues/systems. The expression of ghrelin o-acyltransferase (GOAT) in most peripheral tissues suggests that acylation of locally-produced unacylated ghrelin (UAG) is possible. GOAT + indicates tissues that have been found to express mRNA for GOAT. GOAT? indicates that GOAT expression status is unknown. Pit: Pituitary; ↑: Increases or stimulates; ↓: Decreases; -: Effect unknown.
