GenAge entry for SSTR3 (Homo sapiens)
Gene name (HAGRID: 100)
- HGNC symbol
- SSTR3
- Aliases
- Common name
- somatostatin receptor 3
Potential relevance to the human ageing process
- Main reason for selection
- Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
- Description
The somatostatin (SST) receptor SSTR3 may play a role in the involution of the human thymus and other age-related pathologies [385]. It have been associated with melanoma [1683]. SSTR3 has not been directly related to ageing, but it could be part of signalling cascades related to ageing.
