like other proteins, the somatostatin receptor 2 also has variants. somatostatin receptor 2 exists in two isoforms that are different in carboxy-terimini compositions and size. alternative splicing of the somatostatin receptor 2 mrna resulted in two variants, somatostatin receptor 2a (sstr2a) and somatostatin receptor 2b (sstr2b). in a rodent, somatostatin receptor 2a is longer compared to the shorter somatostatin receptor 2b. isoform a and isoform b sequences are different, beginning at the c-terminal regulatory domains. studies have shown that carboxy-terminal splicing has occurred in many other transmembrane receptors, along with prostaglandin e receptor (ep3). these variants, sst2a receptor and sst2b receptor are seen in some brain and spinal cord areas in a rodent. somatostatin receptor 2a has a shorter transcript, but is longer than somatostatin receptor 2b and has a unique c- terminus compared to somatostatin receptor 2b. sstrb receptor has approximately 300 nucleotides between carboxyl terminus and transmembrane segments fewer than the original somatostatin receptor 2. sst2a receptor is made up of 369 amino acids and 346 amino acids make up the sst2b receptor. somatostatin receptor 2a and somatostatin receptor 2b were found in the medulla oblongata, mesencephalon, testis, cortex, hypothalamus, hippocampus and pituitary of a rodent, using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr). somatostatin receptor 2a is highly evident in the cortex, but the somatostatin receptor 2b is not seen as much. the medeulla oblongata shows equal amounts of the two variants being expressed. the somatostatin receptor 2a was found mostly in far down layers of the cerebral cortex, in the human brain. this variant of the somatostatin receptor was found with the use of immunohistochemistry. the difference in ratios of the isoforms imply a tissue-specific control of transcription. somatostatin receptor 2b is not shown expressed without somatostatin receptor 2a in the brain.
