The evolution of vertebrate somatostatin receptors and their gene regions involves extensive chromosomal rearrangements
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Somatostatin and its related neuroendocrine peptides have a wide variety of physiological functions that are mediated by five somatostatin receptors with gene names <it>SSTR1-5</it> in mammals. To resolve their evolution...
