摘要

•Monotremes have lost the ghrelin (GHRL) and GOAT (MBOAT4) genes while the ghrelin receptor gene (GHSR) is present.•The loss of GHRL may be related to the unique digestive system in monotremes.•Conservation of GHSR in platypus indicates that other ligands maybe acting via this receptor.•Monotremes are a unique system to further study the action of GHSR in the absence of ghrelin.
