Summary

SSTR4 (somatostatin receptor 4, HGNC:11333) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20p11.21, encoding Somatostatin receptor type 4 (P31391). Receptor for somatostatin-14.

Somatostatin acts at many sites to inhibit the release of many hormones and other secretory proteins. The biologic effects of somatostatin are probably mediated by a family of G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. SSTR4 is a member of the superfamily of receptors having seven transmembrane segments and is expressed in highest levels in fetal and adult brain and lung.

Somatostatin receptor type 4 — P31391 (reviewed: P31391)

All UniProt accessions (1): P31391

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Receptor for somatostatin-14. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibits adenylyl cyclase. It is functionally coupled not only to inhibition of adenylate cyclase, but also to activation of both arachidonate release and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. Mediates antiproliferative action of somatostatin in tumor cells.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane.

Tissue specificity. Specifically expressed in fetal and adult brain, lung tissue, stomach, and in lesser quantities in the kidney, pituitary and adrenals.

Similarity. Belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family.

Drugs & pharmacology

Drug and pharmacology data

Is drug target: yes

ChEMBL targets (2): CHEMBL1853 (SINGLE PROTEIN), CHEMBL2111436 (PROTEIN FAMILY)

Drugs by curated mechanism of action (ChEMBL)

Drugs whose curated ChEMBL mechanism of action targets the SSTR4 protein itself — single-protein targets only (drugs acting on a protein family or complex that merely includes it are excluded). Includes antibodies and oligonucleotides that bioactivity screening does not capture.

Drugs acting on a complex or family that includes this protein

Curated ChEMBL mechanism-of-action drugs whose target is a protein complex or family of ≤10 members that includes SSTR4 — the drug acts on the assembly or class, not necessarily on this subunit alone.
