Anti-Somatostatin antibody detects endogenous levels of total Somatostatin protein.
The SST (somatostatin) gene codes for a peptide hormone containing 14 and 28 amino acid moieties. SST-14 is highly expressed in the central nervous system and peripheral organs. SST-28 is mainly expressed in enteroendocrine cells of the intestine.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Somatostatin.
Immunogen Range: 10-59
Application
Anti-Somatostatin, N-Terminal antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below. Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Somatostatin plays an important role in regulating the metabolism of other hormones such as growth hormone, insulin, IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1), glucagon, glucagon-like peptide and gastrin. Somatostatin has both regulatory and inhibitory function. It retards gastrointestinal motility and gallbladder contraction, suppresses gut exocrine secretion and reduces epithelial proliferation. Somatostatin is associated with intestinal nutrient absorption and blood flow regulation. This peptide hormone is believed to inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis. Somatostatin acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. It is associated in maintaining water balance.
