High impact information on sst2

PPSS1 was expressed in the developing pancreas and central nervous system (CNS), whereas PPSS2 expression was exclusively pancreatic [1].
We have identified the cDNAs of two new zebrafish preprosomatostatins, PPSS1 and PPSS3, in addition to the previously cloned PPSS2 (Argenton et al., 1999) [1].

Biological context of sst2

Radiation hybrid mapping assigned the zebrafish [Pro(2)]somatostatin-14 (also termed somatostatin 2; SS2) gene to linkage group 23 of the zebrafish genome, close to the marker nadl1 [2].
