Cortistatin-29 (rat)
Cortistatin-29 is a neuropeptide. Cortistatin-29 alleviates neuropathic pain. Cortistatin-29 binds all somatostatin (SS) receptor subtypes with high affinity and shows IC50 values of 2.8 nM, 7.1 nM, 0.2 nM, 3.0 nM, 13.7 nM for SSTR1, SSTR2, SSTR3, SSTR4, SSTR5, respectively. Cortistatin-29 shows anti-fibrotic effects.
