Recombinant Human SST4 SOMATOSTATIN RECEPTOR
OverviewHuman SSTR4 encoding SST4
Background InformationSomatostatin is a 14 or 28 amino acid regulatory peptide that inhibits hormone secretion from the pituitary, pancreas, and other endocrine sites. A family of 6 GPCRs, sst1, sst2A, sst2B, sst3, sst4 and sst5, mediate the biological activity of somatostatins. The somatostatin receptors couple to Gi to inhibit cAMP production, and also increase MAP kinase signalling. Several tumors have been shown to overexpress somatostatin receptors, and binding of somatostatin to these tumor cells stimulates or inhibits proliferation, depending on the receptor subtypes expressed (Olias et al., 2004). Somatostatin has been implicated in seizure susceptibility in animal models, and activation of sst4 with selective agonists increases seizure activity (Moneta et al., 2002). Chemicon's SST4 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of SST4 interactions with somatostatin. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 1.78 nM for [125I]-Somatostatin 14. With 5 ug/well SST4 Membrane Prep and 1 nM [125I]-Somatostatin 14, a greater than 20-fold signal-to-background ratio was obtained.

Biological Information
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummarySomatostatin 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. SSTR4 is a member of the superfamily of receptors having seven transmembrane segments and is expressed in highest levels in fetal and adult brain and lung.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P31391 # Receptor for somatostatin-14. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibits adenylyl cyclase. It is 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.
SIZE: 388 amino acids; 41895 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Specifically expressed in fetal and adult brain, lung tissue, stomach, and in lesser quantities in the kidney, pituitary and adrenals.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P31391 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Incubation ConditionsMembranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, a GF/C 96-well filter plate is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.
Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C Radioligand: [125I]-Somatostatin 14 (Perkin Elmer # NEX389)
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500 mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.
