Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and receptor ligand activity. Involved in several processes, including hyperosmotic response; response to acidic pH; and response to steroid hormone. Located in extracellular space and neuronal cell body. Is active in neuronal dense core vesicle. Biomarker of gastric ulcer; hypertension; and vascular dementia. Orthologous to human SST (somatostatin).

Study suggested that somatostatin and nNOS are expressed in most interneurons whereas CB1 receptor is present in both interneurons and projection neurons in hippocampal regions
Title: Colocalization of cannabinoid receptor 1 with somatostatin and neuronal nitric oxide synthase in rat brain hippocampus.
Neuronostatin acts via GPR107 to increase cAMP-independent PKA phosphorylation and proglucagon mRNA accumulation in pancreatic alpha-cells.
Title: Neuronostatin acts via GPR107 to increase cAMP-independent PKA phosphorylation and proglucagon mRNA accumulation in pancreatic α-cells.
Results suggest that somatostatin suppresses GABA release from the amacrine cells by inhibiting presynaptic Ca2+ channels, in part through activating sst5/sst2 receptors, a process that is mediated by the intracellular cAMP-PKA signaling pathway
Title: Somatostatin receptor-mediated suppression of gabaergic synaptic transmission in cultured rat retinal amacrine cells.
These results suggest that a local release of somatostatin facilitates the excitability of trigeminal nocicepitve C1 neuronal activity via inhibition of GABAergic neurons
Title: Somatostatin enhances tooth-pulp-evoked cervical dorsal horn neuronal activity in the rat via inhibition of GABAergic interneurons.
when activated by SST-14, SSTR2A internalizes and recycles via the Golgi, which requires ECE-1 degradation of SST-14 and receptor dissociation from beta-arrestins

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
