Protein
Somatostatin receptor type 5
Function
Receptor for somatostatin 28 and to a lesser extent for somatostatin-14. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Increases cell growth inhibition activity of SSTR2 following heterodimerization (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
