Supplementary information

Somatostatin also known as growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH) is a peptide hormone with a molecular mass around 3200 Daltons. This protein is expressed mainly in the central nervous system including the hypothalamus as well as in the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. Somatostatin consists of two biologically active forms: one with 14 amino acids and another with 28 amino acids. This target exerts its mechanical function by binding to specific G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors leading to inhibition of various signaling pathways.
Biological function summary

Somatostatin regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation. It inhibits the secretion of several hormones such as growth hormone thyroid-stimulating hormone and insulin. Somatostatin also plays a role in reducing gastric acid secretion and slowing down gastrointestinal motility. While somatostatin does not act as part of a larger complex its action is highly localized in the tissues where it is produced and released.

Pathways

Somatostatin acts significantly in both the growth hormone and insulin signaling pathways. In the growth hormone pathway it serves as a counter-regulatory hormone to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) therefore controlling growth hormone levels. In the insulin signaling pathway somatostatin interacts with insulin and glucagon modulating glucose metabolism. It is also related to other proteins like cortistatin which shares similar functions and can bind to the same receptors.

Somatostatin is linked with conditions such as acromegaly and diabetes. In acromegaly excessive growth hormone production occurs due to reduced somatostatin activity making somatostatin analogs a therapeutic option. Meanwhile in diabetes altered somatostatin levels can influence insulin and glucagon balance affecting glucose homeostasis. Somatostatin’s interaction with its receptors and proteins like insulin plays an important role in the management of these conditions.

Target data

Somatostatin-14. Inhibits the secretion of pituitary hormones, including that of growth hormone/somatotropin (GH1), PRL, ACTH, luteinizing hormone (LH) and TSH. Also impairs ghrelin- and GnRH-stimulated secretion of GH1 and LH; the inhibition of ghrelin-stimulated secretion of GH1 can be further increased by neuronostatin.. Neuronostatin. May enhance low-glucose-induced glucagon release by pancreatic alpha cells (By similarity). This effect may be mediated by binding to GPR107 and PKA activation (By similarity). May regulate cardiac contractile function (By similarity). May compromise cardiomyocyte viability (By similarity). In the central nervous system, may impair memory retention and may affect hippocampal excitability (By similarity). May also have anxiolytic and anorexigenic effects (By similarity). May play a role in arterial pressure regulation (By similarity). May inhibit basal, but not ghrelin- or GnRH-stimulated secretion of GH1 or LH, but does not affect the release of other pituitary hormones, including PRL, ACTH, FSH or TSH. Potentiates inhibitory action of somatostatin on ghrelin-stimulated secretion of GH1, but not that on GnRH-stimulated secretion of LH (PubMed : 29615476).
