Somatostatin-28 is an hormonally active peptide secreted into hypophysial portal vessel blood. 1983

R P Millar, and W J Sheward, and I Wegener, and G Fink

Somatostatin 14 and 28 (SS-14 and SS-28) have been measured in hypophysial portal blood of male Wistar rats. The concentration and total amount of SS released into portal blood were increased 6- to 7-fold by electrical stimulation of the median eminence. On HPLC, only two peaks of immunoreactivity were detected in extracts of portal plasma and these peaks corresponded with SS-14 and SS-28, respectively. The amount of SS-28 in portal plasma was, on a molar basis, similar or greater than that of SS-14 and this together with other evidence suggests that SS-28 is an hormonally active peptide.

D008473 Median Eminence Raised area at the infundibular region of the HYPOTHALAMUS at the floor of the BRAIN, ventral to the THIRD VENTRICLE and adjacent to the ARCUATE NUCLEUS OF HYPOTHALAMUS. It contains the terminals of hypothalamic neurons and the capillary network of hypophyseal portal system, thus serving as a neuroendocrine link between the brain and the PITUITARY GLAND.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.

D053561 Somatostatin-28 A 28-amino acid peptide with the same biological activities of somatostatin-14 but with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal. SRIF-28 is the major form of somatostatin in the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. Somatostatin 28
