Additional Somatostatin Receptor Peptides Small Molecules and Peptides

Somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibiting factor, SRIF) is an endogenous cyclic polypeptide with two biologically active forms. It is an abundant neuropeptide and has a wide range of physiological effects on neurotransmission, secretion and cell proliferation. The somatostatin receptor family consists of five subtypes, sst_1-5, each differentially distributed throughout the central nervous system and periphery. Endogenous somatostatin receptor ligands include somatostatin-14 and ...
