Somatostatin Receptor 5 - ExpressMAX™ Human GPCR ORF Clones

Somatostatin and its related peptide cortistatin exert multiple biological actions on normal and tumoral tissue targets by interacting with somatostatin receptors (SSTs). It is one of the SSTs, which is a multi-pass membrane protein and belongs to the GPCR 1 family. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase and different regions of this receptor molecule are required for the activation of different signaling pathways. A mutation in the gene results in somatostatin analog resistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified in this gene.
