Somatostatin, also known as growth hormone-inhibiting hormone, is a naturally-occurring peptide hormone of 14 or 28 amino acid residues that regulates the endocrine system. It is secreted by the D cells of the islets to inhibit the release of insulin and glucagon, and is also generated in the hypothalamus, where it inhibits the release of growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormones from the anterior pituitary.Somatostatin is a tetradecapeptide which can suppress the growth hormone (GH) secretion and control the pituitary hormone secretion in human CNS.

E235 is a regulatory activator of transcription factor 4 (ATF4) with antiproliferative activity.E235 acts by initiating the integrated stress response (ISR) and signaling the DNA damage response.

This peptide, a nuclear localization signal DNA tagged to this peptide efficiently translocates into the cell nucleus.
