Descriptor receptores de somatostatina
Entry term(s) receptores de hormona inhibidora de liberación de somatotropina
Scope note: Proteínas de la superficie celular que se unen a la somatostatina y que generan cambios intracelulares que influyen en el comportamiento celular. La somatostatina es una hormona hipotalámica, una hormona pancreática, y un neurotransmisor central y periférico. Los receptores de somatostatina activados sobre las células hipofisarias inhiben la liberación de hormona del crecimiento; aquellos sobre las células endocrinas y gastrointestinales regulan la absorción y utilización de nutrientes; y los que están en las neuronas median el papel de la somatostatina como neurotransmisor.

Scope note: Cell surface proteins that bind somatostatin and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Somatostatin is a hypothalamic hormone, a pancreatic hormone, and a central and peripheral neurotransmitter. Activated somatostatin receptors on pituitary cells inhibit the release of growth hormone; those on endocrine and gastrointestinal cells regulate the absorption and utilization of nutrients; and those on neurons mediate somatostatin's role as a neurotransmitter.
