Supplementary information

The motilin receptor also known as GPR38 is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) with a molecular mass of approximately 45 kDa. This receptor primarily binds to motilin a peptide hormone. It is expressed in the smooth muscle cells of the gastrointestinal tract notably in areas like the stomach and small intestine. By coupling with G-proteins the motilin receptor initiates intracellular signaling cascades that result in physiological responses.
Biological function summary

The motilin receptor plays an important role in regulating gastrointestinal motility. This receptor upon binding motilin triggers contractions in the smooth muscles of the digestive tract. It does not form part of a larger receptor complex and functions independently to modulate stomach and small intestine contractions. Its activity is important for the interdigestive migrating motor complex which moves undigested food through the gastrointestinal tract during fasting periods.

Pathways

Motilin receptor activation significantly impacts the motility and secretory pathways involved in gastrointestinal regulation. It interacts with other proteins in the gastrointestinal signaling network including ghrelin and gastrin to efficiently coordinate motility. The motilin receptor modulates cyclic AMP levels and calcium signaling pathways essential for smooth muscle contractions thereby assisting in coordinated gastrointestinal movements.

The motilin receptor is closely linked to gastrointestinal functional disorders such as gastroparesis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Alterations in receptor activity can lead to disrupted motility and contribute to these conditions. The receptor also associates with ghrelin in the context of functional gastrointestinal disorders as both influence motility patterns. Understanding motilin receptor mechanisms can therefore inform therapeutic strategies for managing these digestive ailments.
