Description |
somatostatin receptor 2 |
| Gene Summary |
The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for somatostatin, which acts at many sites to inhibit the release of several hormones and other secretory proteins. The encoded protein is a member of the superfamily of receptors having seven transmembrane segments and is involved in many processes, including adenylyl cyclase inhibition, phosphotyrosine phosphatase stimulation, and inhibition of calcium entry and cell growth. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015] |
