The Association Between Somatostatin Receptor Ligand and Vitamin B12 in Patients with Acromegaly
Objective: Vitamin B12 deficiency causes hematologic and neuropsychiatric disorders, thus it is important to evaluate it in risky situations. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between somatostatin receptor ligands and vitamin B12 in ...

Somatostatin receptor 4 (SSTR4) is a tumor suppressor in cutaneous and head & neck squamous cell carcinomas. [PDF]
This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

Somatostatin receptor imaging of endocrine gastrointestinal tumors
Somatostatin receptors are present on various tumors of neuroendocrine origin. We recently developed a technique for the in vivo visualization of somatostatin receptor positive tumors, which offers a powerful alternative to tumor imaging with labeled ...

Role of somatostatin receptor-2 in gentamicin-induced auditory hair cell loss in the Mammalian inner ear. [PDF]
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 ...

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

Carboxyl-terminal receptor domains control the differential dephosphorylation of somatostatin receptors by protein phosphatase 1 isoforms. [PDF]
We have recently identified protein phosphatase 1β (PP1β) as G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) phosphatase for the sst2 somatostatin receptor using siRNA knockdown screening.
