Somatostatin receptor type 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SSTR2 gene.[1]

Somatostatin 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.[2]

Interactions

Somatostatin receptor 2 has been shown to interact with SHANK1.[3]
