Sstr1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables somatostatin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including brain development; cellular response to estradiol stimulus; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and membrane. Predicted to be part of G protein-coupled receptor heterodimeric complex and G protein-coupled receptor homodimeric complex. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SSTR1 (somatostatin receptor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Sstr1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
