Abstract excerpt
The growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) plays an important role in regulating food intake and energy homeostasis. In this study, we compared the pharmacological properties of four reported variants of the human GHSR (I134T, V160M, A204E, and F279L) with those of the wild-type receptor. Corresponding recombinant receptors were transiently expressed in either human embryonic kidney 293 or COS-7 cells. Basal...
