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}.
