somatostatin receptor 4; SS4R; brain-specific somatostatin receptor (SSTR4)
Function:
- receptor for somatostatin-14
- activity mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase
- functionally coupled to
a) inhibition of adenylate cyclase
b) activation of arachidonate release & mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade
- mediates antiproliferative action of somatostatin in tumor cells
Structure: belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Compartment: cell membrane
Expression:
- specifically expressed in fetal & adult brain, lung tissue, stomach
- lesser expression in kidney, pituitary & adrenals
