SSR5 Polyclonal Antibody

Somatostatin and its related peptide cortistatin exert multiple biological actions on normal and tumoral tissue targets by interacting with somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) . The protein encoded by SSTR5 is one of the SSTRs, which is a multi-pass membrane protein and belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 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 SSTR5 results in somatostatin analog resistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified in SSTR5.
