Background: Somatostatin R5/SSTR5

Somatostatin Receptor type 5 (SSTR5) is one of five 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors for somatostatins 14 and 28. Within the extracellular portions, human SSTR5 shares 65% and 68% aa identity with mouse and rat SSTR5, respectively. It is expressed in adult pituitary, heart, small intestine, adrenal gland, cerebellum and fetal hypothalamus. It is an inhibitory receptor that transduces the antiproliferative and antisecretive effects of somatostatins.
