Gene information for SSTR1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6751
Official gene symbolSSTR1
Full namesomatostatin receptor 1
Aliases,SRIF-2,
Gene summarySomatostatin acts at many sites to inhibit the release of many hormones and other secretory proteins. The biological effects of somatostatin are probably mediated by a family of G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. The encoded protein is a member of the superfamily of somatostatin receptors having seven transmembrane segments, and is expressed in highest levels in jejunum and stomach. [provided by RefSeq]
