| UniProt functional annotation for P35346 | |||
| UniProt code: P35346. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Receptor for somatostatin 28 and to a lesser extent for somatostatin-14. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Increases cell growth inhibition activity of SSTR2 following heterodimerization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12072395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7908405, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8078491, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8373420}. | |
| Subunit: | Heterodimer with SSTR2. Heterodimerization with SSTR2 increases cell growth inhibition activity of SSTR2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18653781}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Adult pituitary gland, heart, small intestine, adrenal gland, cerebellum and fetal hypothalamus. No expression in fetal or adult kidney, liver, pancreas, uterus, spleen, lung, thyroid or ovary. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12072395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7908405, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8078491}. | |
| Ptm: | Palmitoylated by ZDHHC5, but not ZDHHC3, nor ZDHHC8. Palmitoylation creates an additional intracellular loop which is thought to be important for efficient coupling to G-proteins and may target the protein to lipid rafts. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21820437}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. | |
