Composition figures above are derived arithmetically from the published sequence for the unmodified free peptide. Salt forms (commonly trifluoroacetate or acetate), amidation, and other modifications shift the observed mass — always reconcile against the current lot certificate of analysis.
Volumes for a 1 mg vial of [Tyr1]-Somatostatin 14 at common working concentrations. Add solvent slowly down the vial wall and swirl — do not vortex or shake.
Reference standards in the Endocrine class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.
[Tyr1]-Somatostatin 14 sits within the Endocrine research class (CPC reference SOMA-016). 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 [Tyr1]-Somatostatin 14 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.
[Tyr1]-Somatostatin 14 (CPC catalog code SOMA-016) 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.
Published and internal research programs use [Tyr1]-Somatostatin 14 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.
No. [Tyr1]-Somatostatin 14 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.
In a endocrine workflow, [Tyr1]-Somatostatin 14 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.
Other reference standards in the same class — commonly cross-referenced during assay design and comparator selection.
