GPR39 is a seven transmembrane G protein coupled glycoprotein that is a member of the ghrelin receptor family. GPR39 is expressed in the stomach, small intestine and areas of the brain including the hypothalamus; its ligand is the ghrelin-associated peptide, obestatin. Obestatin decelerates gastric emptying and decreases intestinal contractility in...
