| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To elucidate new biological regulatory mechanism, we performed a search for newly fatty acid -modified peptides from rat brain. The peptide fraction enriched acyl peptides was prepared from rat brain extract by affinity purification with a antibody which recognize acyl -ghrelin. For identifying newly fatty acid -modified peptides, the eluted peptides were analyzed by mass spectroscopy combined with liquid chromatography. Using this method, we could not identify new peptides. However, we detected the immunoreactivity different from acyl-ghrelin in this fraction using ghrelin radioimmunoassay. We are now proceeding to identify the active peptide from this extract by detecting the ghrelin immunoreactivity combined with liquid chromatography.
