Differential agonist activity of somatostatin and L‐362855 at human recombinant sst4 receptors

1 The operational characteristics of somatostatin (SRIF) sst4 receptors are poorly understood. In this study, we have characterized human recombinant sst4 receptors expressed in CHO cells (CHOsst4) by radioligand binding and microphysiometry. 2 Increasing concentrations SRIF or other SRIF receptor l...

Description
Summary:1 The operational characteristics of somatostatin (SRIF) sst4 receptors are poorly understood. In this study, we have characterized human recombinant sst4 receptors expressed in CHO cells (CHOsst4) by radioligand binding and microphysiometry. 2 Increasing concentrations SRIF or other SRIF receptor ligands inhibited specific [125I]‐Tyr11‐SRIF binding in CHOsst4 cell membranes with respective pIC50 values of SRIF (8.82), L‐362855 (7.40), BIM‐23027 (
