Somatostatin receptor 2

Somatostatin receptor type 2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SSTR2 is_associated_with::gene.

Interactions
Somatostatin receptor 2 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::SHANK2.

Therapeutic targeting
Most is_associated_with::pituitary adenomas express is_associated_with::SSTR2, but other is_associated_with::somatostatin receptors are also found.< is_associated_with::Somatostatin analogs (i.e. is_associated_with::Octreotide, is_associated_with::Lanreotide ) are used to stimulate this receptors, and thus to inhibit further tumor proliferation.
