Sensing of Fatty Acids for Octanoylation of Ghrelin Involves a Gustatory G-Protein

BACKGROUND: Ghrelin is an important regulator of energy – and glucose homeostasis. The octanoylation at Ser(3) is essential for ghrelin’s biological effects but the mechanisms involved in the octanoylation are unknown. We investigated whether the gustatory G-protein, α-gustducin, and the free fatty...
