Somatostatin acts at many sites to inhibit the release of many hormones and other secretory proteins. The biologic effects of somatostatin are probably mediated by a family of G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. SST1 receptor is a Gi/Go-coupled GPCR which is expressed in pancreatic islets, pituitary, Cerebellum (Purkinje cells), frontal cortex (pyramidal cells), hippocampus (CA1-4 subfields and some granule cells of the dentate gyrus). It inhibits cAMP accumulation and stimulates tyrosine phosphatase activity, it also can antiproliferation. GenScript's SST1-expressing stable cell line was made in CHO-K1/Gqi5 host cell and optimized for calcium assays.
