Research Abstract |
The binding mechanism of ghrelin that is a hunger-stimulating hormone to its receptor(GHS-R) has many unknown aspects. In this study, I tried to construct a comprehensive evaluation system of the interaction between both molecules. GHS-R cDNA was obtained from RT-PCR using rat stomach total RNA. Four extracellular regions of GHS-R that were important for binding to ghrelin were amplified by PCR based on the GHS-R cDNA and inserted into the expression vector. The interaction between recombinant extracellular region proteins fixed on a sensor chip and ghrelin was evaluated by surface plasmon resonance analysis.
