Fibromodulin/FMOD [H11]
Description Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs), such as Decorin, Biglycan, Fibromodulin and Lumican, mediate extracellular matrix organization and are binding partners of TGFβ. Fibromodulin is a collagen-binding Keratan sulphate proteoglycan that influences adhesion processes of connective tissue and plays a role in fibrillogenesis by regulating collagen fibril spacing and thickness. The core proteins of SLRPs consist of a central region of leucine-rich repeats flanked by disulfide-linkages of the terminal domains. Fibromodulin is a ubiquitous protein that is most prominent in articular cartilage, tendon and ligament. The human Fibromodulin gene maps to chromosome 1q32.1 and encodes a 376 amino acid protein.

Somatostatin [H11]
Description Somatostatin is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation via interaction with G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibition of the release of numerous secondary hormones. This hormone has two active forms produced by alternative cleavage of a single preproprotein: somatostatin-14, composed of 14 amino acids and somatostatin-28, a prohormone composed of 28 residues. Somatostatin is secreted by D-cells of the islets of Langerhans in pancreas, endocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract, bronchopulmonary system, thymus, and C cells of the thyroid. Somatostatin positive cells may also be present in medullary thyroid carcinomas, C cell hyperplasia, thymic tumors and pulmonary small cell carcinomas. An antibody to Somatostatin can be used to identify pancreatic islet cell hyperplasia as well as islet cell tumors, such as somatostatinomas.
