Open accessAbstract
A peptide inhibiting the release of growth hormone was originally detected accidentally during studies of the distribution of growth hormone–releasing factor in the hypothalamus of rats.1 This peptide, called somatostatin, proved to be a cyclic peptide consisting of 14 amino acids.2 Subsequent work has considerably expanded this initially simple concept of somatostatin as a peptide whose main function is the regulation of growth hormone secretion.3 Today, somatostatin is best regarded as a phylogenetically ancient, multigene family of peptides with two important bioactive products: somatostatin-14 and somatostatin-28, the latter a congener of somatostatin-14 extended at the N-terminal.3,4 Like other peptide . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
