Somatostatin Antibody (906552) [Unconjugated]

Somatostatin was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human pancreas using Rat Anti-Human/Mouse Somatostatin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2358) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Rat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS017) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to islet cells.

Somatostatin was detected in immersion fixed human embryonic stem cells differentiated to pancreatic cells using Rat Anti-Human Somatostatin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2358) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL013) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell membranes and cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Stem Cells on Coverslips.

Background

Somatostatin (SST), also known as SMST, is a 116 amino acid (aa) peptide hormone protein and shares 96% aa identity with mouse and rat SST. It exists as a preproprotein that is cleaved into a proprotein form and then subsequently into 14 aa and 28 aa active peptide forms. SST is secreted by many tissues throughout the body and inhibits the secretion of many other hormones. Some of its major roles are inhibiting growth hormone secretion by the pituitary gland, insulin and glucagon secretion in pancreatic islets, and secretion of gastrointestinal tract hormones such as gastrin. Additionally, SST has been shown to have neuromodulatory activity.
