这种调节作用是通过与多种信号传导通路结合的G蛋白偶联受体家族(SSTR1-5)来介导的。

• Its effects are mediated by a family of G-protein-coupled receptors (SSTR1-5) that can couple to diverse signal transducton pathways such as inhibition of adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase, modulation of ionic conductance channels, and protein dephosphorylation.
