Here we report the identification and characterization of ghrelin (GRLN) receptors in goldfish Carassius auratus. We identified four distinct mRNAs generated from four different genes. Those were roughly divided into two types, based on the number of amino acids and amino acid sequence similarity; one composed of 360-amino acids, which is similar to zebrafish GHS-R1a (showing 94–96% identity) and...
The endogenous ligand for the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor ghrelin is a peptide secreted by the stomach of mammals and stimulates food intake and enhances adiposity. In avian species, ghrelin is mainly produced by the proventriculus but reduces food intake whereas its effect on lipogenesis in different tissues is unknown. We therefore investigated the effects of a single intravenous injection...
