Porcine sst1 can physically interact with other somatostatin receptors, and its expression is regulated by metabolic/inflammatory sensors
American journal of physiology. Endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00587.2013

The majority of the biological actions attributed to somatostatin (SST) are thought to be mediated by SST receptor 2 (sst2), the most ubiquitous sst, and, to a lesser extent, by sst5. However, a growing body of evidence suggests a relevant …

Somatostatin and somatostatin analogues reduce PDGF-induced endometrial cell proliferation and motility
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/des144

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial cells, which show increased proliferation and migration. Somatostatin (SST) and its analogues inhibit normal and cancer cell growth and motility through the S…
