Abstract excerpt
The tetradecapeptide somatostatin (SRIF) has an inhibitory action on acid secretion in the stomach. It has been suggested that somatostatin may act directly on parietal cells as well as indirectly via histamine-producing cells. A family of high affinity membrane-bound receptors, which are termed sst1-sst5 receptors, mediates the physiological effects of somatostatin. On the basis of functional studies it has been...
