Motilin Receptor (MLNR)

Motilin receptor agonists and antagonists act on the receptor for motilin, a gut peptide hormone. Motilin is a 22-amino acid peptide released from endocrine cells of the upper small intestine. Its periodic release starts phase III of the migrating motor complex, a band of contractions that sweeps the empty stomach and gut. The motilin receptor (MLNR), previously known as G protein-coupled receptor 38 (GPR38), was identified in 1999 as a G protein-coupled receptor of the human gastrointestinal tract. Agonists derived from macrolide antibiotics, called motilides, act on the same receptor. The category holds Motilin, human, porcine and Motilin, canine, the small-molecule agonist camicinal and the motilide EM-523. MA-2029 and ANQ-11125 are listed as antagonists that block motilin-induced responses.
