We have isolated and determined the nucleotide sequence of the gene for the fifth mouse
somatostatin receptor (msst5). The gene can encode a protein of 363 amino acid residues
(aa). The deduced aa sequence of msst5 has 97 and 81% identity to the rat and human sst5
respectively, while it has lower identities with the four other mouse sstns (msst1—48%,
msst2—55%, msst3—56%, and msst4—52%). We show that msst5 is expressed in brain but
not in liver, heart, spleen, or kidney of the adult mouse.
