Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor Expression in Human Pituitary Tumors1 [PDF]
The GH secretagogue (GHS) receptor (GHS-R) has been characterized and cloned. It is a member of a family of seven transmembrane receptors and is closely related to the neurotensin and TRH receptors. To determine the expression of this receptor in normal anterior pituitary and in 24 human pituitary adenomas, we analyzed GHS-R messenger ribonucleic acid (

The Ghrelin Receptor (Ghsr) Gene Polymorphism in Indonesian Local Chicken and Crossbreed is Associated with Carcass Traits [PDF]
Ghrelin receptor (GHSR) gene is candidate gene for growth performance in chicken by modulating growth hormone release from the pituitary by binding to its ligand of ghrelin.

Effect of Ghrelin on the Cardiovascular System
Ghrelin, an n-octanoyl-modified 28-amino-acid-peptide, was first discovered in the human and rat stomach as an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). Ghrelin-GHS-R1a signaling regulates feeding behavior and energy balance,

Signal transduction mechanism of the seabream growth hormone secretagogue receptor
We have recently cloned the full‐length cDNAs of the two growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) subtypes from a teleost species, the black seabream (Acanthopagrus schlegeli) [Mol. Cell. Endocrinol. 214 (2004) 81], namely sbGHSR‐1a and sbGHSR‐1b.

Ghrelin accelerates synapse formation and activity development in cultured cortical networks [PDF]
Background: While ghrelin was initially related to appetite stimulation and growth hormone secretion, it also has a neuroprotective effect in neurodegenerative diseases and regulates cognitive function. The cellular basis of those processes is related to

Impact of G protein-coupled receptor heteromers in endocrine systems. [PDF]
The fine-tuning of endocrine homeostasis is regulated by dynamic receptor mediated processes. The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have diverse roles in the modulation of all endocrine axes, thus understanding the mechanisms ...

Recent Advances in Potential Clinical Application of Ghrelin in Obesity
Ghrelin is the natural ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a). Ghrelin is a 28 amino acid peptide possessing a unique acylation on the serine in position 3 catalyzed by ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT).
