Sstr5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables somatostatin receptor activity. Involved in adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and cellular response to glucocorticoid stimulus. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bipolar disorder. Orthologous to human SSTR5 (somatostatin receptor 5).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Sstr5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
