Common name
somatostatin 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

Somatostatin is an important regulator of endocrine and nervous system function [386]. It inhibits the release of GH1 probably through GHRH [1568]. Because its levels change with age, it is likely that age-related changes are affected or affect SST [385], and a role for SST in Alzheimer's disease has also been proposed [1664].
