Description: Ghrelin receptor antagonist
Alternative Names: CST-8
Biological Activity for Cortistatin-8
Synthetic cortistatin analog that lacks the ability to bind somatostatin receptors but retains ghrelin receptor binding. Acts as a ghrelin receptor antagonist; counteracts the response of ghrelin on gastric acid secretion.
