Somatostatin receptor 1

Somatostatin receptor 1

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Somatostatin receptor type 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SSTR1 gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts SSTR1, Identifiers ...

Function

Somatostatin acts at many sites to inhibit the release of many hormones and other secretory proteins. The biological effects of somatostatin are probably mediated by a family of G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. The encoded protein is a member of the superfamily of somatostatin receptors having seven transmembrane segments, and is expressed in highest levels in jejunum and stomach.[6]
