Somatostatin receptor expression in parathyroid neoplasms

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2019
Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma represents a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Distinguishing carcinoma from the benign tumors underlying primary hyperparathyroidism remains challenging.

Role of Somatostatin Receptor in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Development, Diagnosis, and Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are rare and part of the diverse family of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), which are widely expressed in NENs, are G-protein coupled receptors that can be activated by ...

Free fatty acid receptor 4 inhibitory signaling in delta cells regulates islet hormone secretion in mice

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2021
Objective: Maintenance of glucose homeostasis requires the precise regulation of hormone secretion from the endocrine pancreas. Free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4/GPR120) is a G protein-coupled receptor whose activation in islets of Langerhans promotes ...

Somatostatin receptors

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2003
In 1972, Brazeau et al. isolated somatostatin (somatotropin release-inhibiting factor, SRIF), a cyclic polypeptide with two biologically active isoforms (SRIF-14 and SRIF-28). This event prompted the successful quest for SRIF receptors. Then, nearly a quarter of a century later, it was announced that a neuropeptide, to be named cortistatin (CST), had ...

Carboxyl-terminal receptor domains control the differential dephosphorylation of somatostatin receptors by protein phosphatase 1 isoforms. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
We have recently identified protein phosphatase 1β (PP1β) as G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) phosphatase for the sst2 somatostatin receptor using siRNA knockdown screening.

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancer: A case report of significant response to lu177 DOTA-TATE treatment

open access: yesArchives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2022
SUMMARY A 59-year-old woman with follicular thyroid carcinoma underwent total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine treatment. Following treatment, the whole-body scan did not show any abnormal radioiodine uptake. However, during the follow-up, the serum

The somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2011
Background Little is known about expression and function of the somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea. We have previously shown that somatostatin administration may have a protective effect on gentamicin-induced hair cell loss. In this study,

Pharmacological Characterization of Veldoreotide as a Somatostatin Receptor 4 Agonist

open access: yesLife, 2021
Veldoreotide, a somatostatin analogue, binds to the somatostatin receptors (SSTR) 2, 4, and 5. The current aim was to assess its pharmacological activity as an SSTR4 agonist.
