SSTR1

Also found in: Acronyms.

SSTR1

A gene on chromosome 14q13 that encodes a G protein-coupled somatostatin receptor with higher affinity for somatostatin-14 than -28. It interacts with SKB1 and is expressed in foetal kidney and foetal liver, and in the adult pancreas, brain, lung, jejunum and stomach.

It shows a high affinity to SSTR1, 2, 3, and 5 [14] and has clinical efficacy [15, 16] with acceptable side effects [28, 29].

In CD, recurrent tumors had significantly higher expression rates of SSTR1 and SSTR4 and significantly lower expression of SSTR5.

Recurrent corticotroph pituitary adenomas show a different SSTR expression with lower SSTR5 levels and higher expression of SSTR1 and SSTR4.

Caption: Figure 1: SSTR1, 2A, 3, 4, and 5 in pancreatic tissue show staining of the pancreatic islets which served as positive controls.

The examples show the expression of SSTR1, 2A, 3, 4, and 5 in three cases of corticotroph pituitary adenoma, ranging from 0 to the maximum ID score of 12.
