Ghrelin Receptor Mutations and Human Obesity.

Progress in molecular biology and translational science - 1 Jan 2016

Wang W, Tao Y-X

Abstract excerpt

Growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) was originally identified as an orphan receptor in porcine and rat anterior pituitary membranes. In 1999, GHSR was deorphanized and shown to be a receptor for ghrelin, a peptide hormone secreted from the stomach. Therefore, GHSR is also called ghrelin receptor. In addition to regulating growth hormone secretion, ghrelin receptor regulates various physiological...
