Abstract
Ghrelin octanoylation by ghrelin O-acyltransferase represents a key control point in metabolic signaling. Recent advances in GOAT inhibitor development offer the potential to target ghrelin signaling through GOAT for therapeutic effect. The discovery of LEAP2, an endogenous GHS-R1a antagonist secreted by the liver. Identification of proteins that interact with GHS-R1a to modulate receptor activation expands the landscape of ghrelin–GHS-R1a...
