The many actions of somatostatin in the central nervous system are mediated through specific membrane receptors of which five have been cloned. In this study, we have investigated the distribution of one of these receptors, the sst2 subtype, in the brain and spinal cord of the golden hamster (Mesocr

Somatostatin exerts its actions by means of a family of G protein-coupled receptors, five of which have so far been cloned. Whereas mRNAs for receptor subtypes sst 1 -sst 4 have been unequivocally localized in the brain, the data concerning the fifth subtype, sst 5 , are contradictory. Moreover, whe
The mGluR1 metabotropic glutamate receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor that exists as different C-terminal splice variants. When expressed in mammalian cells, the mGluR1 splice variants exhibit diverse transduction mechanisms and also slightly differ in their apparent agonist affinities. In the
The cannabinoid receptor family consists of two inhibitory G-protein-coupled receptors, CB1 and CB2. CB1 is distributed primarily in neural tissue, whereas CB2 is distributed predominantly in immune cells. The distribution of cannabinoid receptors in neural tissue has been demonstrated by using liga
