Neuronostatin Products

Description

Neuronostatin is a 13-amino acid bioactive peptide hormone encoded by the somatostatin gene.  Neuronostatin has a widespread effect in the CNS and peripheral tissues.  It reduces food and water intake, increases mean arterial pressure, delays gastrointestinal transit, and increases glucagon secretion from pancreatic islet alpha cells among other things.  Neuronostatin is produced in the endocrine pancreas, specifically pancreatic beta cells. The amounts of immunoreactive neuronostatin are highest in spleen, pancreas, cerebrum, and hypothalamus but is also found in diverse tissues including the heart.
