NCIt definition : Somatostatin receptor type 2 (369 aa, 41 kDa) is encoded by the human SSTR2 gene.
This protein is involved in brain development, G protein-coupled receptor signaling,
and the inhibition of cell proliferation.;
NCIt note : SSTR2 appears to antagonize SSTR5, and vice versa, suggesting a tissue-specific function
and interaction between these receptors.;
