Somatostatin receptors are receptors for the ligand somatostatin, a small neuropeptide associated with neural signaling, particularly in the post-synaptic response to NMDA receptor co-stimulation/activation.
Somatostatin receptors are proteins that recognize and bind to somatostatin, a peptide hormone that plays a role in neural communication, especially when interacting with NMDA receptors during synaptic activity.
