Results presented in this study indicate that in human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK 293), the ghrelin receptor growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a) activates the extracellular signal-related kinases 1 and 2 (ERK 1/2) via three pathways. One pathway is mediated by the beta-arrestins 1 and 2, and requires entry of the receptor into a multiprotein complex with the beta-arrestins, Src, Raf-1, and ERK 1/2. A second pathway is G(q/11)-dependent and involves a Ca(2+)-dependent PKC (PKCalpha/beta) and Src. A third pathway is G(i)-dependent and involves phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), PKCepsilon, and Src. Our current study reveals that G(i/o)- and G(q/11)-proteins are crucially involved in the beta-arrestin-mediated ERK 1/2 activation. These results thus support the view that the beta-arrestins act as both scaffolding proteins and signal transducers in ERK 1/2 activation, as reported for other receptors. The different pathways of ERK 1/2 activation suggest that binding to GHS-R1a activates ERK 1/2 pools at different locations within the cell, and thus probably with different physiological consequences.

D054439 Ghrelin A 28-amino acid, acylated, orexigenic peptide that is a ligand for GROWTH HORMONE SECRETAGOGUE RECEPTORS. Ghrelin is widely expressed but primarily in the stomach in the adults. Ghrelin acts centrally to stimulate growth hormone secretion and food intake, and peripherally to regulate energy homeostasis. Its large precursor protein, known as appetite-regulating hormone or motilin-related peptide, contains ghrelin and obestatin.
