Ghrelin, GHRL gene, obestatin prepropeptide or lenomorelin from ghrelinergic cells in the gastrointestinal tract
GHRL is a neuropeptide in the central nervous system regulating appetite
Ghrelin is regulating the distribution and rate of use of body energy.The receptors are ligand binding factors of type 1, 2 or 3 and protein-molecules that receive chemical-signals from outside a cell
When such chemical-signals couple or bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response, e.g
a change in the electrical-activity of a cell
In this sense, am olfactory receptor is a protein-molecule that recognizes and responds to endogenous-chemical signals, chemokinesor cytokines e.g
an acetylcholine-receptor recognizes and responds to its endogenous-ligand, acetylcholine
However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug-targets, such as enzymes, transporters and ion-channels.
About
Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies
There are less rat- than mouse clones however
Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.
