title: Isolation and characterization of rat hypothalamic somatostatin-14.
abstract: A peptide with somatostatin-like immuno- and bioactivity has been isolated from 1165 rat hypothalami by using antisomatostatin affinity chromatography, gel filtration and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The isolated peptide is indistinguishable from synthetic somatostatin-14 with respect to chromatographic properties and amino acid composition. We therefore propose that rat hypothalamic somatostatin-14 is identical in structure to somatostatin-14 found in other species.
