Somatostatin Receptor-3 Definition

Somatostatin binds to a group of structurally related tissue-specific high-affinity integral membrane GPCRs (family 1), coupled via G proteins to inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. Somatostatin Receptor 3 is readily detected in brain, pituitary, and pancreatic islets. (from OMIM 182453, SWISS-PROT P32745, and NCI)
