Association of SST5TMD4 and SST5TMD5 expression with metastasis and poor prognostic markers in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours
Introduction:
The expression of the somatostatin receptor isoform SST5TMD4 is linked to poorer prognosis in somatotropinomas, as well as in breast and thyroid cancers, and it is notably overexpressed in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs).

Potential Role of SST5TMD4-Derived Peptides in the Malignancy of Neuroendocrine Tumors and Other Endocrine-Related Cancer Cells
Introduction:
Extracellular fragments derived from membrane receptors can play relevant functional roles in certain tumoral pathologies and could provide novel diagnostic or therapeutic tools. We have identified a novel truncated somatostatin receptor type 5 variant, sst5TMD4, which is overexpressed and functionally active in different endocrine-related cancers, including neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Interestingly, sst5TMD4 has 4 transmembrane domains and its C-terminal tail is consequently exposed towards the extracellular matrix, and could, therefore, be the substrate for proteolytic enzymes.
