Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human sst1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which sst1 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human sst1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human sst1 (AY322536). This cell line can be used to study sst1 receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. Dividing-arrest cells are cells that are normally kept under specific culture conditions or treated with agents that prevent cell division from being held in a non-dividing state. This can be achieved through methods such as serum starvation, chemical inhibitors of cell cycle progression, or genetic modification.

Background
Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are activated by somatostatin secreted from nerve and endocrine cells. SSTRs are expressed in a tissue-specific manner and involved in the regulation of secretion of insulin, glucagon and growth hormone as well as cell growth induced by neuronal excitation in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Aberrant expression of somatostatin receptors is known in a large number of human tumors. SSTR1 has been reported at highest levels in the jejunum and stomach. In addition, this receptor is expressed in adrenal, brain, liver, lung, eye, and pancreas. Selective activation of SSTR1 inhibits hormone secretion and cell viability in GH-secreting and PRL-secreting adenomas in vitro.
