  • While we have used a modified proghrelin as a substrate, as described below, this HEL enzyme is enzymatically distinct from the modifying enzyme ghrelin O-acyl transferase (GOAT) [6], [7], and most likely physiologically acylates proteins other than proghrelin.

  • ERAT acylates GAM-proghrelin, requires certain amino acids at the N-terminus of the acylated protein, and is specific for Ser5.
