Background:   Somatostatin is a tetradecapeptide that is widely distributed in the body and is one of five receptor subtypes termed SSTr1-. These receptors function in the regulation of numerous phsiological processes such as the secretion of insulin, glucagon and growth hormone as wel as cell growth induced by neuronal excitation in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Somatostatin receptos are activated via sonatostatin secreted by nerve and endocrine cells. Somatostatin Receptor 2 (SSR2), along with SSR1, is expressed at the highest levels in the stomach and jejunum, cerebrum and kidney, respectively.
