Somatostatin, also known as growth hormone-inhibiting hormone, is a naturally-occurring peptide hormone of 14 or 28 amino acid residues that regulates the endocrine system. It is secreted by the D cells of the islets to inhibit the release of insulin and
Somatostatin-28 (1-14) is an N-terminal fragment of the neuropeptide somatostatin-28, which originates from the posttranslational cleavage of prosomatostatin, derived from the larger precursor preprosomatostatin.
[Tyr11]-Somatostatin is a neuroactive peptide utilized in proteomics research. It belongs to a class of neuroactive substances that play a role in modulating retinal physiology.
Somatostatin is an endogenous neuropeptide hormone found in the brain and pancreas. Somatostatin binds several isoforms of the somatostatin receptor, exhibiting anxiolytic, antiepileptic/anticonvulsant, and anorexigenic activities.
Pasireotide(SOM 230) is a stable cyclohexapeptide somatostatin mimic that exhibits unique high-affinity binding to human somatostatin receptors (subtypes sst1/2/3/4/5, pKi=8.2/9.0/9.1/<7.0/9.9 respectively).
