Obestatin is a hormone that is produced in specialized epithelial cells of the stomach and small intestine of several animals including humans. Obestatin was originally identified as an anorectic peptide, but its effect on food intake remains controversial.
== Discovery == Obestatin was discovered using a bioinformatics approach: by computer search of the sequenced genomes of several organisms.
