Definition
English
:
Cell surface
proteins
that bind
somatostatin
and trigger intracellular changes which influence the
behavior
of cells.
Somatostatin
is a hypothalamic hormone, a pancreatic hormone, and a central and peripheral neurotransmitter. Activated
somatostatin
receptors on pituitary cells inhibit the release of
growth hormone
; those on endocrine and gastrointestinal cells regulate the
absorption
and utilization of
nutrients
; and those on
neurons
mediate somatostatin's role as a neurotransmitter.
