| Explanation |
Octreotide is a somatostatin analog that binds to the somatostatin receptor, mainly subtypes 2, 3, and 5, increases Gi activity, and reduces intracellular cAMP production.

| Application |
Octreotide is used for the treatment of growth hormone producing tumors and bleeding esophageal varices. It is also used in nuclear medicine imaging by labelling with indium-111.
