Functional elucidation of human somatostatin receptor-3 : implications in breast tumor biology

Somatostatin (SST) inhibits cell proliferation through five SST receptors (SSTR1-5). Amongst all SSTR subtypes, SSTR2 and SSTR3 are the prominent receptor subtypes which exert antiproliferative effects in cells of different origin. SSTR2-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation is largely cytostati...
