Abstract

Cortistatin is a member of the somatostatin family of peptide hormones. Although cortistatin and somatostatin display many structural and functional similarities, there are also notable differences including tissue distribution and receptor selectivity. This Viewpoint describes how these differences might reflect novel actions of cortistatin in the brain and immune system.
