Somatostatin receptor 5

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Somatostatin receptor type 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SSTR5 gene.[5]

Quick Facts SSTR5, Identifiers ...

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. SSTR5 is a member of the superfamily of receptors having seven transmembrane segments.[6]
