Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects somatostatin (gene SST) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 12.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 83 kDa.
Somatostatin (SST) is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide made in the hypothalamus, pancreatic delta cells and the gut. Its main forms, somatostatin-14 and somatostatin-28, act through five SSTR receptors to suppress the release of growth hormone, TSH, insulin, glucagon and other hormones, making it a central inhibitory signal in endocrine and neuroendocrine research.

|---|---|
| Host / Clonality / Isotype | Rabbit / Polyclonal / Rabbit IgG |
| Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat |
| Form | Lyophilized |
| Formulation | Per vial: 0.9 mg NaCl; 0.2 mg Na2HPO4; 0.05 mg thimerosal; 0.05 mg NaN3; plus stabilizers |
| Calculated MW | 12.7 kDa |
| Observed MW | 83 kDa |

Validated Applications
| IHC (frozen sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Rat, Human, Mouse) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human, Rat, Mouse) |
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Rat, Mouse) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat brain tissue, HeLa cells, SW620 cells, MCF-7 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): rat brain tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human somatostatin. The peptide sequence is conserved in rat and mouse.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes somatostatin as a secreted protein. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
