High impact information on Sstr3

  • Here we report on the molecular and functional characterization of a somatostatin-28 receptor (SSR-28) cloned from a rat brain cDNA library [1].
  • Binding assays using radiolabeled somatostatin-14 and membranes from COS cells transfected with the cloned cDNA show that this receptor, SSR-28, has a higher binding affinity for somatostatin-28 (IC50 = 0.24 nM) than for somatostatin-14 (IC50 = 0.89 nM) [1].
  • In situ hybridization indicates that SSR-28 mRNA is present in the granular and Purkinje cell layers of the cerebellum and in the large cells of the hypoglossal nucleus of the brain stem [1].
  • Using specific anti-peptide antisera, we observed somatostatin receptor 3-like immunoreactivity in many brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, amygdala and cerebellum [2].
  • Electron microscopic analysis revealed that somatostatin receptor 3-like immunoreactivity is localized to the plasma membrane of neuronal cilia which extended into an intercellular pocket and showed a 9+0 filament pattern in their basal body and proximal segments [2].
