A long acting analogue of this compound self assembles into 24.4 nm thick nanotubes and is named lanreotide, while the analogue pasireotide serves as an orphan drug for Cushing’s disease. An indium-111 marked analogue of this hormone is used in techniques graded by the Krenning score method of locating sarcoidosis and neuroendocrine tumors. A different analogue of this compound is bound to DOTA in a compound used for imaging tumors, and both of those compounds are octapeptides. This hormone’s active form comes in 28 and 14 amino acid varieties, and its analogues maybe used to treat acromegaly. Cells which release this compound are selectively activated by ghrelin. This hormone, which is similar to cortistatin, is produced by delta cells. This hormone inhibits insulin and glucagon secretoin. For 10 points, name this hormone which inhibits the activity of growth hormone.
