Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5) mediates the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on insulin expression/secretion and cell proliferation. A number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SSTR5 have been identified, including P335L, a nonsynonymous SNP located in the protein C-terminal region and encrypted by the codon CCG (proline) or the codon CTG (leucine). In the present study we sought...
