The sst1 somatostatin (SRIF) receptor subtype is widely expressed in the endocrine, gastrointestinal, and neuronal systems as well as in hormone-sensitive tumors, yet little is known about its regulation. Here we investigated the desensitization, internalization, and phosphorylation of sst1 expressed in CHO-K1 cells. Treatment of cells with 100 nM SRIF for 30 min reduced maximal SRIF inhibition of adenylyl cyclase from 40 to 10%.
