Somatostatin Receptor Subtype 2 (SSTR2)
- Target
- SSTR2
- Molecular classification
- G protein-coupled receptor, Receptor
01
Overview
Somatostatin receptor subtype 2 is a GPCR widely distributed across tissues but especially upregulated on certain tumor types where it serves critical roles both physiologically—regulating hormonal output—and clinically—as a diagnostic/prognostic marker and therapeutic target.
02
Mechanism of action
Agonist binding induces receptor internalization and downstream signaling modulation via G-protein pathways, including inhibition of hormone secretion and anti-proliferative effects.
03
Biological functions
Inhibits hormone secretionRegulates neuronal migrationRegulates neuronal developmentModulates ion channels
04
Disease associations
Cancer
05
Safety considerations
