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 RC 102 is a peptide hormone. It regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation via interaction with G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibition of the release of numerous secondary hormones.
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.
