What is Somatostatin-28?
Extended 28-amino-acid form derived from the same precursor as somatostatin-14. It is studied for differential receptor interactions and for how peptide length changes GH and gastrointestinal hormone regulation.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms

Research Summary
Somatostatin-28 helped define how precursor processing alters somatostatin biology across tissues. It remains useful for comparing N-terminal and C-terminal receptor selectivity relative to somatostatin-14.
