Differential expression of somatostatin receptor subtypes in brain.
The tetradecapeptide somatostatin has been implicated as an important regulator of neuronal and neuroendocrine function in the CNS. The cellular actions of somatostatin are mediated by specific receptors. The genes encoding two different somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) have been isolated and characterized, and RNA blotting studies have shown that both SSTR1 and SSTR2 are expressed in the brain. ...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor subtypes in human immune cells.
Somatostatin is a neuropeptide hormone that is widely distributed throughout the body. It was first discovered as a factor inhibiting the release of growth hormone. Later it was shown to have many functions in the endocrine system including the inhibition of secretion of other pituitary hormones, in addition to that of gastrointestinal hormones. Moreover, somatostatin acts as a neurotransmitter...
متن کاملSite specificity of agonist and second messenger-activated kinases for somatostatin receptor subtype 2A (Sst2A) phosphorylation.
Somatostatin receptor subtype 2A (sst2A) mediates many of the endocrine and neuronal actions of somatostatin and is the target of somatostatin analogs in cancer therapy. As with many G-protein-coupled receptors, agonist stimulation causes sst2A receptor desensitization and internalization, events that require receptor phosphorylation. Furthermore, heterologous receptor activation of protein kin...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical detection of somatostatin receptor subtypes sst1 and sst2A in human somatostatin receptor positive tumors.
Although in situ hybridization has been used to examine the distribution of messenger RNA for somatostatin receptor subtypes (sst) in human tumors, the cellular localization of sst1 and sst2A receptors has not been reported. In this study, we describe the cellular localization of human sst1 and sst2A receptor proteins in both cryostat- and paraffin-embedded sections of 25 human tumor tissues us...
متن کاملHuman somatostatin receptor subtypes in acromegaly: distinct patterns of messenger ribonucleic acid expression and hormone suppression identify different tumoral phenotypes.
Recently, studies using somatostatin (SRIF) analogs preferential for either the SRIF receptor 2 (SSTR2) or the SSTR5 subtype demonstrated a variable suppression of GH and PRL release from GH-secreting human adenomas. These data suggested the concept of SSTR subtype specificity in such tumors. In the present study the quantitative expression of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) for the 5 SSTR su...
