|
| Function |
Receptor for somatostatin-14. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibits adenylyl cyclase. It is functionally coupled not only to inhibition of adenylate cyclase, but also to activation of both arachidonate release and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. Mediates antiproliferative action of somatostatin in tumor cells.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Specifically expressed in fetal and adult brain, lung tissue, stomach, and in lesser quantities in the kidney, pituitary and adrenals.
|
| Top Pathways |
Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction
