Proposed reaction cycle for transmembrane ghrelin octanoylation by GOAT. The two substrates for GOAT, ghrelin (GSSFL-ghrelin) and octanoyl-CoA, enter the enzyme internal channel from the ER lumen and cytoplasm, respectively. Acyl transfer of the octanoyl chain to the ghrelin serine hydroxyl is catalysed by interaction with His-338, followed by octanoylated ghrelin dissociation to the ER lumen and coenzyme A release back to the cytoplasm.
