Abstract excerpt
Functional variations on the human ghrelin receptor upon mutations have been associated with a syndrome of short stature and obesity, of which the obesity appears to develop around puberty. In this work, we reported a proteometrics analysis of the constitutive and ghrelin-induced activities of wild-type and mutant ghrelin receptors using amino acid sequence autocorrelation (AASA) approach for protein structural...
