Structure of an antagonist-bound ghrelin receptor reveals possible ghrelin recognition mode

Ghrelin is a gastric peptide hormone with important physiological functions, including growth hormone release and appetite-stimulating activity. Here, authors solved the crystal structure of the ghrelin receptor bound to antagonist and suggested a possible mechanism of activation by acyl-modified gh...
