Somatostatin receptor type 2 (sstr2) is a receptor for somatostatins-14 and -28. This antibody has a great value in the assessment of sst2A status in human neuroendocrine tumors. Overexpression of somatostatin receptor 2 (Sst2r) in neuroendocrine tumors is diagnostically helpful and may have therapeutic implications.
