Molecular studies on preproghrelin gene: Signal peptide, ghrelin coding region and variants – A brief report focusing on rs34911341 polymorphism

Background: Ghrelin is a hormone that exhibits effects in a lot of biologic processes, such as food intake regulation, gastrointestinal motility and carbohydrate metabolism. Ghrelin is encoded by human preproghrelin gene (GHRL), reported with four exons. However, experiments suggested a new molecula...
