Annotation description:Ghrelin is a peptide that acts on the GHS-R1a receptor in hippocampal neurons to induce synaptic potentiation.

Fig.5: "Ghrelin receptor activation increases the cell-surface trafficking of GluA1-AMPAR mediated by cLTP."

Fig.7: "Ghrelin receptor activation triggers changes in GluA1 and stargazin phosphorylation and the PKA and PKC signaling pathways are required for increased GluA1-AMPAR surface expression induced by ghrelin receptor activation in the hippocampus."
