Description

Somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2) serves as a critical G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the inhibitory effects of somatostatin on hormone secretion, cell proliferation, and neurotransmission. This receptor has emerged as a particularly important target in neuroendocrine tumor research, where its expression patterns inform both diagnostic assessment and therapeutic strategies. SSTR2's involvement in regulating growth hormone release and its widespread expression in pancreatic islet cells also make it a valuable marker for metabolic and endocrine studies.

This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human SSTR2, offers the reproducibility essential for longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs in controlled recombinant systems, researchers can expect consistent performance across different lots, eliminating a common source of experimental variability that can complicate data interpretation over time.

Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates reliable detection in paraffin-embedded human pancreatic tissue, with optimal staining achieved at dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200 using citrate buffer antigen retrieval. The validated protocol employed a standard polymer-based HRP detection system with DAB visualization on a Leica Bond platform, providing a well-characterized starting point for researchers establishing SSTR2 detection in their own tissue samples. The antibody is also suitable for ELISA applications, offering flexibility for researchers who need both quantitative and spatial information about SSTR2 expression.

For investigators studying neuroendocrine tumors, pancreatic function, or somatostatin signaling pathways, this antibody provides a dependable tool for characterizing SSTR2 expression in human tissues.

Target Background

Function

Receptor for somatostatin-14 and -28. This receptor is coupled via pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins to inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. In addition it stimulates phosphotyrosine phosphatase and PLC via pertussis toxin insensitive as well as sensitive G proteins. Inhibits calcium entry by suppressing voltage-dependent calcium channels. Acts as the functionally dominant somatostatin receptor in pancreatic alpha- and beta-cells where it mediates the inhibitory effect of somatostatin-14 on hormone secretion. Inhibits cell growth through enhancement of MAPK1 and MAPK2 phosphorylation and subsequent up-regulation of CDKN1B. Stimulates neuronal migration and axon outgrowth and may participate in neuron development and maturation during brain development. Mediates negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling through PTPN6. Inactivates SSTR3 receptor function following heterodimerization.
