Gene information for SSTR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6752
Official gene symbolSSTR2
Full namesomatostatin receptor 2
Aliases,-,
Gene summarySomatostatin acts at many sites to inhibit the release of many hormones and other secretory proteins. The biologic effects of somatostatin are probably mediated by a family of G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. SSTR2 is a member of the superfamily of receptors having seven transmembrane segments and is expressed in highest levels in cerebrum and kidney. [provided by RefSeq]
