    Ghrelin is a peptide that is secreted by the stomach during fasting to promote food intake. The accessory protein MRAP2 interacts with the ghrelin receptor GHSR1a and is important for the orexigenic effects of ghrelin. Rouault et al. found that MRAP2 promoted biased signaling downstream of ghrelin-mediated activation of GHSR1a by inhibiting β-arrestin recruitment to the receptor and potentiating…
