Application: Octreotide is a synthetic octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin, inhibiting the secretion of several hormones such as growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon. By binding to somatostatin receptors, particularly SSTR2 and SSTR5, octreotide effectively reduces hormone-related symptoms in conditions like acromegaly, carcinoid tumors, and vasoactive intestinal peptide tumors (VIPomas). In pharmaceutical applications, octreotide is used to manage hormone-secreting tumors and alleviate symptoms of excessive hormone production. Its mechanism of action and prolonged activity compared to natural somatostatin make it a crucial therapeutic agent in endocrinology and oncology
