Research Abstract |
Motilin, erythromycin and ghrelin are important endogenous regulators of gastrointestinal motor function, mediated by the class A G protein-coupled motilin receptor and GHS receptor. We have identified new critical residues in the transmembrane domains of the motilin receptor for erythromycin binding and activity using receptor mutagenesis. We have also generated human motilin receptor transgenic mice, and clarified relationship between motilin receptor and GHS receptor.
