Description

Somatostatin CAS NO 51110-01-1 is a potent cyclic peptide hormone that acts as a key regulator of endocrine and exocrine secretion. Its primary value lies in its ability to inhibit the release of growth hormone, insulin, glucagon, and various gastrointestinal hormones. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, particularly for applications in endocrinology research, metabolic disorder studies, and the development of diagnostic tools and therapeutic analogs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Critical for studying hormone regulation, neuroendocrine functions, and as a reference standard in bioassays.
• Therapeutic Analog Development: Serves as the parent compound for synthesizing stable analogs used in treating acromegaly, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and severe bleeding.
• Diagnostic Applications: Used in diagnostic kits and procedures to assess endocrine function and related disorders.
• Biochemical & Physiological Studies: A fundamental tool for investigating the somatostatin receptor signaling pathways and their roles in cell proliferation and secretion.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Supports basic science research in universities and medical institutes focusing on endocrinology and metabolism.
