Identifiers, parent molecule, targets and development stage, from curated data.
Octreotide is a cyclic eight-residue somatostatin analog. The short-acting injection, depot products, and oral products have different regimens. Radiolabeled derivatives are separate substances.

No sequence is listed for the parent, so no alignment is shown.Octreotide is a synthetic somatostatin analog. P61278 identifies the human somatostatin precursor, not octreotide. No contiguous parent interval is assigned.
Some values cannot be calculated. A modification changes this value and is not modeled here (for example a lipid, metal or linker).
