Anti-SSTR5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein somatostatin receptor 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 364 amino acid residues and a mass of 39.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. A member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 protein family, SSTR5 is a known receptor for somatostatin 28 and to a lesser extent for somatostatin-14. Post-translational modifications have been described, including palmitoylation and glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include SST5, somatostatin receptor type 5, somatostatin receptor subtype 5, and SS-5-R. SSTR5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of SSTR5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
