Somatostatin, also known as growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH) or by several other names, is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation via interaction with G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibition of the release of numerous secondary hormones.
The gene for somatostatin receptor 2, SSTR2 for short, is responsible for making a receptor for the signalling peptide, somatostatin (SST). Production occurs in the central nervous system, especially the hypothalamus, as well as the digestive system, and pancreas. [16] SSTR2 is a receptor for somatostatin-14 and -28 respectively.
Somatostatin is encoded by a CRE and is very susceptible to gene promoter region activation by transcription factor CREB. [1] There are five known somatostatin receptors: [2] SST 1 ; SST 2 ; SST 3 ; SST 4 ; SST 5 ; All are G protein-coupled seven transmembrane receptors.

Somatostatin receptor type 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SSTR5 gene. [5] Somatostatin acts at many sites to inhibit the release of many hormones and other secretory proteins. The biological effects of somatostatin are probably mediated by a family of G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner.

Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) is a superantigen with a size of 22 kDa [1] produced by 5 to 25% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates. It causes toxic shock syndrome (TSS) by stimulating the release of large amounts of interleukin-1, interleukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor.
