1, 637.9 g/mol

Somatostatin (also known as growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH) or somatotropin release-inhibiting hormone (SRIF) is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine systemand affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation via interaction with G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibition of the release of numerous secondary hormones. Somatostatin has two active forms produced by alternative cleavage of a single preproprotein: one of 14 amino acids, the other of 28 amino acids.Description: Somatostatin Synthetic is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 14 amino acids, having a molecular mass of 1637.9 Dalton and a Molecular formula of C76H104N18O19S2. The CAS# is 38916-34-6.Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.Formulation: The protein was lyophilized with no additives.Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Somatostatin in sterile 18MΩ -cm H2O not less than 100 µ g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.Stability: Lyophilized SST although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18° C. Upon reconstitution Somatostatin should be stored at 4° C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18° C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.q
