Growth Hormone Secretagogue-Receptor or GHS-Receptor is a GPCR which binds the ligand ghrelin and is important in appetite regulation, energy balance and the regulation of body weight. It is a G-protein coupled receptor, densely expressed in appetite-regulating regions of the hypothalamus, through which the orexigenic hormone ghrelin acts.
