Abstract excerpt
Somatostatin is a neuromodulator in the mammalian CNS. To date, genes for at least five different somatotrophin release inhibiting factor receptors, termed sst1-sst5, have been cloned. The rat sst2 receptor exists in two splice variants, sst(alpha)a) and sst2(b), which differ in their carboxy-termini. When heterologously expressed in Chinese hamster ovary-K1 cells, these splice variants show little difference in...
