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?

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1986
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 is a neuropeptide produced by neuroendocrine, inflammatory and immune cells in response to different stimuli. Somatostatin inhibits various cellular functions including secretions, motility and proliferation. Its action is mediated by five specific somatostatin receptors (sst1-sst5) which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor family ...

Biological activity of somatostatin can be altered by modiñcations in the amino acid sequence. Thus, a number of bioassays have been developed in order to measure the potency and specificity of analogues and heterogenous molecular forms of somatostatin.

Medical Clinics of North America, 1978
Somatostatin may act as a local regulator of endocrine and exocrine secretion and as a peptidergic neurotransmitter rather than as a classical circulating hormone. The possible physiologic role of its secretion in the regulation of islet A and B cell function, and particularly its significance in nutrient homeostasis and diabetes, are discussed.

Somatostatin, a tetradecapeptide originally isolated from the hypothalamus on the basis of its ability to inhibit the secretion of growth hormone, is now known to be widely distributed in various endocrine and gastrointestinal tissues and to have diverse actions, including inhibition of insulin and glucagon secretion.
