Target Details for SSTR2

Target: SSTR2 (Somatostatin Receptor 2 (SSTR2))

Alternative Name: SSTR2

Background: SSTR2, SS2R, Smstr2, SRIF1A,Somatostatin is a small cyclic peptide that is widely expressed throughout the central nervous system and peripheral tissues.1 In peripheral tissues, somatostatin exerts inhibitory effects on secretion processes, whereas in the brain, it acts as a neurotransmitter in both a stimulatory and an inhibitory manner.1,2Somatostatin mediates its action via six high affinity G-protein coupled receptors (SSTR1, SSTR2a, SSTR2b, SSTR3, SSTR4, and SSTR5), which are encoded by five genes.1,2 Expression of the different receptors is developmentally regulated in a time- and tissue-specific manner.2Somatostatin receptors have been found on a variety of neuroendocrine tumors, such as paragangliomas, carcinoids, and breast tumors.3 Synthetic peptide derivatives of somatostatin have been successfully used in the treatment of neuroendocrine malignancies and in vivo imaging of tumors that are positive for somatostatin receptors.4In general, SSTR2 is the most common SSTR subtype found in human tumors, followed by SSTR1, with SSTR3 and SSTR4 being less common.
