Ghrelin is the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) which was identified in the pituitary gland and is now named the ghrelin receptor. However, the peptide is most abundant in the stomach and ghrelin receptors are present in all major organ systems and tissues.

From Ghrelin to Ghrelin's O-Acyl Transferase
2012The hormone ghrelin is a unique signaling peptide with powerful metabolic effects, mediated by its acylated forms. The acyl modification of ghrelin is unique in that it takes place via a susceptible ester linkage in the conserved serine-3 of ghrelin and is composed principally of octanoyl and, to lesser extent, decanoyl fatty acids.

Transgenic Mice Overexpressing Ghrelin or Ghrelin Analog
2012To understand the chronic effects of ghrelin, genetically engineered mouse models would be useful. Early studies, however, suggested that it was challenging to generate ghrelin gain-of-activity models by standard procedures. Although several groups have been trying to generate transgenic (Tg) mice overexpressing ghrelin, almost all these animals ...

The structure of ghrelin, a 28-residue octanoylated peptide hormone, is only known up to the level of primary structure identifying an active core of residues 1-5 or 1-4 including octanoyl-Ser3 as necessary to elicit receptor response. This chapter reviews the results and limitations of experimental and computer modeling studies, which have appeared in

Structure and Function of Ghrelin
2008The endogenous ligand for growth-hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) was purified from the stomach and we named it "ghrelin", after a word root ("ghre") in Proto-Indo-European languages meaning "grow", since ghrelin has potent growth hormone (GH) releasing activity.
