Biological Activity

Endogenous neuropeptide, mainly expressed in the cortex and hippocampus, that has structural and functional similarities to somatostatin-14. Displays potency at all somatostatin receptors (sst₁ - sst₅) and prevents somatostatin-14 binding (IC₅₀ values are 5, 0.09, 0.3, 0.2 and 0.3 nM at sst₁, sst₂, sst₃, sst₄ and sst₅ receptors respectively). Also binds to the growth hormone secretagog receptor (GHS-R1a). Exhibits neuronal depressant and sleep-modulating properties in vivo.
