Abstract excerpt
The orexigenic peptide ghrelin exerts important functions in energy metabolism and cellular homeostasis by activating the growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHSR1a), and thus has therapeutic potential to treat certain diseases. Native ghrelin carries an essential O -fatty acyl moiety at the side-chain of its third Ser residue; however, this posttranslational modification is susceptible to hydrolysis by...
