Generic protein structure example

Motilin receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor (previously GPCR38)[1][2][3] that binds motilin.[4][5] It was first cloned in 1999 by Merck Laboratories.[6] and scientists have since been searching for compounds to modify its behavior.[7]

The primary structure of the motilin receptor consists of 412 amino acids,[6] while its tertiary structure resembles a golf club.[8] The protein C-terminal protein protects from enzymatic degradation, while the N-terminal is essential for binding.[8]

Function

The primary function of the motilin receptor is to contract gastric smooth muscle during phase III of the migrating motor complex (MMC).[6] In this final phase of the MMC, N-type motilin receptors in the distal antral pump of the stomach are activated.[9] This causes contraction of the gastric smooth muscle, sieving food into the small intestine, and priming the stomach for the next meal.[10]

Motilin

Motilin is an intestinal peptide that stimulates the contraction of gastric smooth muscle via the motilin receptor.[6] It is produced by enteroendocrine cells in the proximal small intestine[1][11] and secreted cyclically.[12] Motilin mimetics could be used to increase gastric motility in patients with gastroparesis e.g., constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome.[13] However, none of the candidate drugs that have been tested so far have made it to market.[2][14]
