Nesfatin-1 is a protein that is derived from the precursor molecule NEFA (nucleobindin-2). It is primarily known for its role in regulating appetite and energy homeostasis. Nesfatin-1 is produced in various tissues, including the hypothalamus, which is a key brain region involved in hunger and satiety. Research has indicated that nesfatin-1 can decrease food intake and promote feelings of fullness (satiety).
