Background Information
Somatostatin is a peptide hormone that 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 a useful marker of D-cells of pancreatic islet cells. Somatostatin inhibits ins and glucagon secretion. Somatostatin has two active forms produced by alternative cleavage of a single preproprotein: one of 14 amino acids, the other of 28 amino acids. This antibody can recognize the full length and propeptide of Somatostatin.
