Description

Somatostatin, Ser(13)- is a synthetic peptide analog of the endogenous hormone somatostatin, specifically modified at the serine-13 position. This modification can enhance its stability and receptor-binding profile, making it a valuable tool for advanced biochemical and pharmacological research. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic researchers, and biotechnology companies focused on endocrinology, neurobiology, and oncology. The compound serves as a critical reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in the development of novel therapeutic agents.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a reference standard in receptor binding assays and signal transduction studies to investigate the somatostatin receptor family.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or precursor in the synthesis of novel peptide-based therapeutics targeting hormonal disorders and cancers.
• Diagnostic Agent Development: Employed in the research and development of diagnostic imaging agents, particularly for receptor-targeted probes.
• Academic Studies: Utilized in university and institutional labs for studying the physiological roles of somatostatin in growth hormone regulation, neurotransmission, and cell proliferation.
• Peptide Chemistry: Acts as a model compound for studying peptide stability, modification techniques, and structure-activity relationships (SAR).
