Homeobox B4 gene expression is upregulated by ghrelin through PI3-kinase signaling pathway in rat’s bone marrow stromal cells

Objective. Ghrelin, a 28 amino acid peptide, has diverse physiological roles. Phosphatidylino-sitol-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) are involved in some of the recognized actions of ghrelin. It has been shown that ghrelin upregulates HOXB4 gene expression but...
