Details for receptor: sst2

EndoNet ID: ENR00738

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

  • sst2
  • sst(2)
  • SSTR2
  • somatostatin receptor 2

General information

  • Belongs to the seven transmembrane domain receptor family. [1]
  • SSTR2 was strongly colocalized with glucagon in 89% of alpha-cells. [2]
  • Two alternatively spliced forms, SSTR2A and SSTR2B. [3]
  • SSTR1-3 were colocalized in only a few delta-cells, and SSTR4 was absent. [2]
  • SSTR2 was found in 46% of beta-cells. [2]

Binding hormones

  • somatostatin
  • somatostatin-14
  • somatostatin-28
  • cortistatin
    • CST-17 and its rodent homologue CST-14 both bind nonselectively and with nanomolar affinities to all five somatostatin receptor subtypes in vitro. [4]

Anatomical structures with this receptor

    Influences

    • negative TSH
  • brain

  • pituitary_gland_of_diencephalon

    Influences

    • negative ACTH
      • Selective sst5 activation regulates sst2 signaling resulting in an inhibition of ACTH secretion from pituitary tumor cells. [5]
  • acidophil_somatotroph_cell_of_anterior_pituitary

    Influences

    • negative GH
      • SSTR2 and SSTR5 mediate suppression of GH and TSH secretion. [6]
      • SRIF and CST similarly inhibited (p < 0.05) spontaneous GH secretion of about 90%. [7]
      • Somatostatin induced inhibition of GH secretion is mediated through (SSTR) 2 and 5. [8]

    Influences

    • negative glucagon
      • Subtype-selective SSTR expression in islet cells could be the basis of glucagon inhibition by SSTR2-selective compounds. [2]
