What Somatostatin 28 is studied for

  • Receptor-binding and functional selectivity studies
  • Second-messenger (cAMP / IP₁) profiling
  • Hypothalamic–pituitary axis feedback modeling
  • Metabolic and glucose-homeostasis research

Mechanism of action

Somatostatin 28 sits within the Endocrine research class (CPC reference SOMA-008). Endocrine peptides bind class A/B GPCRs and RTKs on hormone-responsive tissues, triggering canonical cAMP, IP₃/Ca²⁺, and MAPK pathways that regulate secretion, growth, and metabolism. Investigators typically incorporate Somatostatin 28 as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. HTRF cAMP, calcium mobilization (FLIPR), and radioligand binding are the standard readouts.

Frequently asked questions

What is Somatostatin 28?

Somatostatin 28 (CPC catalog code SOMA-008) is a synthetic endocrine research peptide in the endocrine category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Somatostatin 28 studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Somatostatin 28 as a reference standard in endocrine workflows — for example, receptor-binding and functional selectivity studies and second-messenger (camp / ip₁) profiling. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Somatostatin 28 FDA-approved for human use?

No. Somatostatin 28 is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is Somatostatin 28 typically used in the lab?

In a endocrine workflow, Somatostatin 28 is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. HTRF cAMP, calcium mobilization (FLIPR), and radioligand binding are the standard readouts.

How should Somatostatin 28 be stored?

Store lyophilized at −20 °C, protected from light. Reconstitute in sterile 0.1% BSA/PBS. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

Where does the Somatostatin 28 product page point to?

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for SOMA-008. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.

What quality specifications apply to Somatostatin 28?

Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
