Background: GHS-R1a activates multiple signaling pathways mediating feeding and addictive behaviors. Results: Some GHS-R1a ligands activate Gq but not Gi/o and fail to recruit β-arrestin2; others act as selective inverse agonists at Gq compared with G13. Conclusion: Synthetic ligands can selectively activate or reverse Gq-dependent signaling at GHS-R1a. Significance: Ligand-biased signaling can be exploited for the development of selective drugs to treat GHS-R1a-mediated Disorders.
