Uses

Anti-Somatostatin, N-Terminal antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence.

General Description

Anti-Somatostatin antibody detects endogenous levels of total Somatostatin protein.

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.
