Expression of somatostatin subtype 1 receptor in the rabbit retina.

Abstract

All five sst mRNAs are expressed in the rabbit retina. The localization of sst(1) suggests that it may mediate SRIF actions onto amacrine (including dopaminergic) and sparse ganglion cells. sst(1) expression in SRIF-IR cells suggests that this receptor may also act as an autoreceptor.
