Motilin is a peptide hormone primarily produced in the small intestine, playing a crucial role in regulating gastrointestinal motility. The specific variant known as (leu13)-motilin porcine is a modified form of motilin derived from porcine sources, where the thirteenth amino acid is leucine. This modification can enhance its stability and biological activity. Characteristically, motilin stimulates the migrating motor complex, promoting gastric emptying and intestinal peristalsis. It is composed of a chain of amino acids, typically exhibiting a helical structure that is essential for its receptor binding and activity. The substance is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications in gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastroparesis. Additionally, (leu13)-motilin porcine may have implications in research related to appetite regulation and metabolic processes. As a peptide, it is sensitive to enzymatic degradation, necessitating careful handling and storage conditions to maintain its integrity for experimental or clinical use.
