Ghsr - growth hormone secretagogue receptor

Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity; identical protein binding activity; and peptide hormone binding activity. Involved in adult feeding behavior and positive regulation of appetite. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; growth hormone secretion; and positive regulation of insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cell surface; membrane raft; and neuron projection. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and trachea. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human GHSR (growth hormone secretagogue receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
