Amino-terminal cysteine residues of RGS16 are required for palmitoylation and modulation of G(i)- and G(q)-mediated signaling [PDF]
, 1999 RGS proteins (Regulators of G protein Signaling) are a recently discovered family of proteins that accelerate the GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G protein α subunits of the i, q, and 12 classes.

A receptor-based analysis of local ecosystems in the human brain. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundAs a complex system, the brain is a self-organizing entity that depends on local interactions among cells. Its regions (anatomically defined nuclei and areas) can be conceptualized as cellular ecosystems, but the similarity of their functional ...

Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in Cushing's disease [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2008 Cushing's disease is caused by an ACTH secreting pituitary adenoma. Surgery is the treatment of choice and cure rates between 60 and 90% are reported. For patients in which surgery fails, effective medical treatment options are needed. Somatostatin (SS) receptors (sst) are expressed on normal and tumoral corticotroph cells.

Somatostatin Improved B Cells Mature in Macaques during Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion has been taken as an important pathophysiological process for multiple organ dysfunctions in critical patients. Recent studies reported that dual expression programs of the B cells receptors and Toll-like receptors on B ...

Role of somatostatin receptor-2 in gentamicin-induced auditory hair cell loss in the Mammalian inner ear. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons of the mammalian auditory system do not regenerate, and their loss leads to irreversible hearing loss. Aminoglycosides induce auditory hair cell death in vitro, and evidence suggests that phosphatidylinositol-3 ...

Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in retinal diseases [PDF]
European Journal of Endocrinology, 2000 Somatostatin is a small neuropeptide that is producedin the central nervous system, where it acts as aneurotransmitter. This neuropeptide also has animportant role in the neuroendocrine system as aninhibitor of hormone release, the most strikingexample of which is the inhibition of growth hormonerelease.

Somatostatin inhibits cell migration and reduces cell counts of human keratinocytes and delays epidermal wound healing in an ex vivo wound model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The peptide hormone somatostatin (SST) and its five G protein-coupled receptors (SSTR1-5) were described to be present in the skin, but their cutaneous function(s) and skin-specific signalling mechanisms are widely unknown.
