This is a review of pancreatic somatostatin which is limited in its scope and therefore focuses upon some selected issues. Throughout the entire review the same basic questions recur: Why do islets contain somatostatin? What is the physiological role of somatostatin and what does this peptide have to do with diabetes?

Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptor Physiology
Endocrine, 2003Since the discovery of somatostatin (SST) over three decades ago, its ubiquitous distribution and manifold functions are still being documented. SST is synthesized in the hypothalamus and transported to the anterior pituitary gland where it tonicaly inhibits GH and TSH secretion as well as being responsible for GH pulsatile release.

Somatostatin Receptor Manipulation
Digestion, 1996The expression of somatostatin receptors (ssts) on human tumours is the basis for the successful therapeutic and diagnostic application of (radiolabelled) somatostatin analogues. Manipulation (up-regulation) of sst expression might improve the uptake of radioligand in in vivo scintigraphy of human sst-positive tumours, as well as the potential success ...

More insight into the biochemical structure and operation of the somatostatin receptor(s) has been gained in recent years from several approaches. The minimal active structure of the receptor(s) has been identified, and active minisomatostatins have been synthesized.

Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in fish growth
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010Multiple forms of somatostatin (SS) and SS receptors (SSTR) are produced widely in the tissues of fish and interact to coordinate numerous physiological processes. Insight into their role in growth regulation emerged from studies of abnormal growth and of whole animals.

Somatostatin induces its biological actions by activating a family of receptor subtypes. The recent cloning of five somatostatin receptor subtypes has led to the development of subtype-selective agonists. These compounds are revealing distinct functions of the individual receptor subtypes.

Somatostatin analogues: Are they analogues of somatostatin?
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2002Dear Sir, Somatostatin (SRIH) was discovered because of its surprising inhibitory effect on GH secretion (1), and thus appropriately named. Later on, its ubiquitousness and the inhibiting activity on pancreatic hormones and on other types of hormones, rendered its name too restrictive. It was by then too late to change it.
