Homologous and Heterologous Regulation of Somatostatin Receptor 2 [PDF]
AbstractWe previously demonstrated that phosphorylation of somatostatin receptor 2A (sst2A) is rapidly increased in transfected cells both by agonist and by the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Here, we investigate whether PKC-mediated receptor phosphorylation is involved in the homologous or heterologous regulation of ...

Somatostatin-Somatostatin Receptor 2 Signaling Mediates LH Pulse Suppression in Lactating Rats [PDF]
Follicular development and ovulation are profoundly suppressed during lactation in mammals. This suppression is suggested to be mainly due to the suckling-induced inhibition of kisspeptin gene (Kiss1) expression in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and consequent inhibition of pulsatile GnRH/LH release.

Membrane-displayed somatostatin activates somatostatin receptor subtype-2 heterologously produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Abstract The G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, which includes somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), is one of the most important drug targets in the pharmaceutical industry. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an attractive host for the ligand screening of human GPCRs.

Intra-Islet Somatostatin Regulates Glucagon Release via Type 2 Somatostatin Receptors in Rats [PDF]
Exogenously administered somatostatin (SST) inhibits secretion of insulin and glucagon. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that islet SST regulates glucagon secretion by a local action. A number of studies utilizing SST antibodies have been performed to test this hypothesis, and their results have been conflicting.

The somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea
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,
