Somatostatin receptors are receptors for the ligandsomatostatin, a small neuropeptide associated with neural signaling, particularly in the post-synaptic response to NMDA receptor co-stimulation/activation. Somatostatin is encoded by a CRE and is very susceptible to gene promoter region activation by transcription factorCREB.[1]
All are G protein-coupledseven transmembrane receptors.
