Activated ghrelin hormone molecule C014 / 4901
Activated ghrelin hormone molecule. Computer model showing the crystal structure of the human hormone ghrelin. The crystal structure consists of both the secondary structure, represented by an alpha helix (ribbon), and primary structure, represented by colour-coded spheres (carbon: grey, oxygen: red, nitrogen: blue). Ghrelin is responsible for stimulating the feeling of hunger. Ghrelin levels increase before meals and decrease after meals. Here, it is shown with an octanoylation (foreground left) on the third amino acid (serine). This octanoylated peptide can activate the GHSR receptor and is therefore known as the active form of ghrelin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the activated ghrelin hormone molecule, providing a detailed computer model of its crystal structure. The image beautifully highlights both the secondary and primary structures of this crucial human hormone. Represented by an alpha helix ribbon, the secondary structure is complemented by color-coded spheres representing carbon (grey), oxygen (red), and nitrogen (blue) atoms that make up the primary structure. Ghrelin plays a vital role in stimulating hunger sensations within our bodies. Its levels rise before meals to trigger appetite and decrease after meals to regulate satiety. In this illustration, we observe an octanoylation on the third amino acid serine, which transforms it into an active form capable of activating the GHSR receptor. The white background emphasizes key elements such as stomach, feeding, biology, medicine, drug development, appetite regulation, chemistry, digestion process, and biochemical stimulation associated with ghrelin's function. This molecular model provides valuable insights into how this hormonal compound interacts within our biological system. With its intricate details and scientific accuracy captured through ball-and-stick representation and cutouts for clarity purposes; this artwork serves as a powerful tool for researchers in endocrinology or proteomics studying gastric hormones or gastrointestinal systems. It symbolizes progress in understanding complex biological processes related to hunger regulation while showcasing the beauty found at microscopic levels of life's building blocks – molecules like ghrelin.
