Abstract
The neuropeptide somatostatin (SST) has been known for more than 25 years, and investigations into its function have yielded a large variety of physiological effects that can be ascribed to the peptide. These effects go far beyond the role as an inhibitor of the release of pituitary growth hormone which was observed initially. Consistently, somatostatin (and its more recently identified relative, cortistatin) exerts its functions via a whole family of different receptor subtypes. Since the molecular identification of these subtypes in the early 1990’s the assignment of specific functions to individual subtypes has been a major goal in somatostatin research. This review summarizes the recent advances that have been made with respect to the signal transduction by somatostatin receptors as well as the regulation of the receptors. In addition I will give an outlook on studies using mice deficient for individual receptor subtypes, which — in combination with newly deveolped subtype specific ligands — will hopefully provide a clearer picture of somatostatin receptor function in the near future.
