Grelin je biohemijski faktor koji reguliše apetit. Njega izlučuju periferni organi. On učestvuje u regulaciji energetske homoeostaze putem vezivanja za receptor za oslobađanje hormona rasta. Posledica aktivacije ovog receptora je sekrecija hormona rasta od strane hipofize.[3] Signalni put koji je aktiviran vezivanjem grelina za hormon rasta oslobađajući receptor, GHSR1a, reguliše aktivaciju nizvodne mitogenom-aktivirane proteinske kinaze, Akt, azot monoksid sintaze, i AMPK kaskade u različitim ćelijskim sistemima.[2]
Jedna od važnih GHSR1a osobina je konstitutivna aktivnost, posedovanje bazalne aktivnosti u odsustvu agonista, što dovodi do visokog stepena internalizacije receptora, kao i signalne aktivnosti.[2]Inverzni agonisti grelinskog receptora mogu da budu od posebnog interesa za lečenje gojaznosti.[4] Smatra se da konstitutivna aktivnost proizvodi tonski signal koji je neophodan za razvoj normalne visine, verovatno kroz efekat na GH osi.[5]
Selektivni ligandi
Mnogobrojni selektivni ligandi GHSR receptora su dostupni. Oni su u razvoju za više oblika kliničke primene. GHSR agonisti imaju apetit-stimulišuće i faktor-rasta oslobađajuće efekte. Smatra se da će oni biti korisni za lečenje propadanja mišića i iznemoglosti kod starostnih i degenerativnih oboljenja. S druge strane, GHSR antagonisti imaju anoreksične efekte i očekuje se da će naći primenu u lečenju gojaznosti.
