Biochem Physiol Actions: SSTR2 (Somatostatin receptor 2) is a regulatory peptide widely distributed in tissues. It is involved in several cellular functions including, neuroendocrine and exocrine secretions, and proliferation. In neuronal tissues, it interacts with the inhibitory G-proteins in both the chambers, presynaptic and postsynaptic, to control the synaptic responses. It has the ability to control the proliferation of both normal and neoplastic cells. It is abundantly present at the plasma membrane of several tumorous cells such as pancreatic, gastrointestinal, breast carcinoma, neuroblastomas etc. Thus, SSTR2 has been proved as a potential prognostic marker for certain malignancies.
