Octreotide is a synthetic octapeptide that is an analog of the natural hormone somatostatin. Somatostatin regulates a variety of endocrine and exocrine functions. Octreotide exerts its effects by binding to somatostatin receptors, predominantly somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) and somatostatin receptor 5 (SSTR5). https://timessquarereporter.com/business/octreotide--an-effective-treatment-for-many-digestive-system-disorders
