abstractText | The porcine somatostatin receptor gene was isolated from a porcine genomic library. Based on the deduced amino acid sequence, this gene encodes a 369 amino acid protein with seven hydrophobic segments, a characteristic of G-protein coupled receptors, and shows only 13 amino acid difference (identity 96.5%, similarity 99.2%) in amino acid sequence from human somatostatin receptor 2. The data indicate that the amino acid sequence is highly conserved in pig, human, rat and mouse somatostatin receptor 2. |
