Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the human somatostatin receptor type 1 (hSSTR1) does not undergo agonist-induced internalization, but is instead up-regulated at the membrane upon prolonged somatostatin (SST) exposure. The deletion of the carboxyterminal C-tail of the receptor completely abolishes up-regulation. To identify molecular signals that mediate hSSTR1 up-regulation, we created mutant receptors with...
