Ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT) plays a central role in the maturation and activation of the
peptide hormone ghrelin, which performs a wide range of endocrinological signaling roles. Using
a tight-binding fluorescent ghrelin-derived peptide designed for high selectivity for GOAT over
the ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a, we demonstrate that GOAT interacts with extracellular ghrelin and
facilitates ligand cell internalization in both transfected cells and prostate...
