Somatostatin Receptor Type 2 (SSTR2) is one of five 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors for somatostatins 14 and 28. An antibody to SSTR2 labels neural and endocrine cells in normal tissues. SSTR2 is detected in tumors of neural and endocrine origin, including meningiomas, neuroblastomas, pituitary adenomas, small cell lung carcinomas and carcinoid tumors. The expression of SSTR2 in breast carcinoma and lymphoma may also be observed. The rabbit monoclonal antibody is known for its superior sensitivity and specificity. Fischer et al. compared this monoclonal with polyclonal SSTR2 antibodies, and they found that this SSTR2 (EP149) may overcome a number of limitations inherent to polyclonal antibodies and is valuable in IHC detection of SSTR2 in human tumors.
