The somatostatin receptor 2 (mSSTR2) is alternatively spliced into two isoforms (mSSTR2A and mSSTR2B) which differ at the C-terminus. Both receptors bind somatostatin peptides with a similar high affinity when stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells. However, the spliced form (mSSTR2B) mediates a more efficient inhibition of adenylate cyctase and is much more resistant to agonist-induced reduction of binding than the longer form (mSSTR2A).
