體抑素-28(SRIF-28)由二十八個胺基酸所組成之環狀多肽鏈,SRIF-28為體抑素-14(SRIF-14)在N-端延伸一直鏈片段之先驅物,由體抑素原經蛋白酶水解作用切斷胜肽鍵而得,一級結構為:H-Ser1-Ala2-Asn3-Ser4-Asn5-Pro6-Ala7- Met8-Ala9-Pro10-Arg11-Glu12-Arg13-Lys14-Ala15-Gly16-c[Cys17-Lys18-Asn19-Phe20-Phe21-Trp22-Lys23-Thr24-Phe25-Thr26-Ser27-Cys28]-OH。體抑素原中鹼性胺基酸(Arg)殘基受到蛋白酶水解生成SRIF-28,而迴路構型是蛋白酶進行水解作用的關鍵,根據文獻指出SRIF-28中Pro6與Pro10有助於增加
The octacosapeptide somatostatin-28 (SRIF-28), a NH2-terminally extended somatostatin, containing 28 residues, was first isolated from ovine hypothalamic extracts. The primary structure of SRIF-28 is :H-Ser1-Ala2-Asn3- Ser4-Asn5-Pro6-Ala7-Met8-Ala9-Pro10-Arg11-Glu12-Arg13-Lys14-Ala15-Gly16-c[Cys17-Lys18-Asn19-Phe20-Phe21-Trp22-Lys23-Thr24-Phe25-Thr26-Ser27-Cys28]-OH. A single arginine residue forms the proteolytic cleavage site for the processing of SRIF-28. A
