Entrez ID 6750
Gene name Somatostatin
Gene symbol SST
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
SMSTSST1
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q27.3
Summary The hormone somatostatin has active 14 aa and 28 aa forms that are produced by alternate cleavage of the single preproprotein encoded by this gene. Somatostatin is expressed throughout the body and inhibits the release of numerous secondary hormones by bi

Protein name Somatostatin (Growth hormone release-inhibiting factor) [Cleaved into: Somatostatin-28; Somatostatin-14 (SST-14); Neuronostatin (NST)]
Protein function [Somatostatin-14]: Inhibits the secretion of pituitary hormones, including that of growth hormone/somatotropin (GH1), PRL, ACTH, luteinizing hormone (LH) and TSH. Also impairs ghrelin- and GnRH-stimulated secretion of GH1 and LH; the inhibition
