Anti-sst1 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the sst1 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the SST gene, which encodes somatostatin. This protein is known to function in receptor-mediated signaling pathways and cell to cell signaling, among other biological roles. The human version of sst1 has a canonical amino acid length of 116 residues and a protein mass of 12.7 kilodaltons. It is reported to be a secreted protein that is notably expressed in many tissues, such as the appendix and colon. Other names for this target antigen include SMST and growth hormone release-inhibiting factor. Some sst1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
