NCIt definition : Somatostatin (116 aa, 13 kDa) is encoded by the human SST gene. This protein plays
a role in the downregulation of somatotropin release.;
NCIt note : Somatostatin is cleaved into one of two peptides comprised of either amino acid residues
89-116, which is called somatostatin-28, or residues 103-116, which is called somatostatin-14.
