The evolution of vertebrate somatostatin receptors and their gene regions involves extensive chromosomal rearrangements.

BMC evolutionary biology - 29 Nov 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Somatostatin and its related neuroendocrine peptides have a wide variety of physiological functions that are mediated by five somatostatin receptors with gene names SSTR1-5 in mammals. To resolve their evolution in vertebrates we have investigated the SSTR genes and a large number of adjacent gene families by phylogeny and conserved synteny analyses in a broad range of vertebrate species. RESULTS: We...
