Beyond Hunger: Structure, Signaling and Systemic Roles of Ghrelin
2025-10-06
Abstract excerpt
Ghrelin, the endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), has expanded from a “hunger hormone” to a pleiotropic regulator of whole-body physiology. This review synthesizes current advances spanning ghrelin biogenesis, signaling, and systems biology. Physiologically, preproghrelin processing and O-acylation by ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT) generate acyl-ghrelin, the high-potency GHS...
