Entrez ID 1325
Gene name Cortistatin
Gene symbol CORT
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CST-14CST-17CST-29SST2
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p36.22
Summary This gene encodes a neuropeptide that is structurally similar to somatostatin. It binds to all known somatostatin receptors, and shares many pharmacological and functional properties with somatostatin, including the depression of neuronal activity. Howeve
