Facts about Somatostatin receptor type 4.
Receptor for somatostatin-14.
The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibits adenylyl cyclase.It's functionally coupled not only to inhibition of adenylate cyclase, but also to activation of both arachidonate release and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. Mediates antiproliferative action of somatostatin in tumor cells.
