Neuronostatin (abbreviated as NST) is a peptide hormone that may regulate portions of the endocrine system via interactions with G protein coupled receptors.[1]
Neuronostatin has two alternate cleavage products from the SST preproprotein, a 13 amino acid product and a 19 amino acid product that are both linear and amidated[2]. Alternative cleavage products of this preproprotein include the cyclic Somatostatin. Tissues have been found to express varying ratios of Neuronostatins and Somatostatins.

Neuronostatin has been associated with impaired memory[3], increased Aβ presence and aggravated Aβ pathologies[4][5], kidney function[6] and breast/prostate cancer metastasis[7][8]
Functions
Neuronostatin signals through the G protein Couple receptor GPR107.[1]
Neural Tissues
Neuronostatin binds to monomeric Aβ1-42 and increases the presence of Aβ plaques within the cortex and hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice.[4]. Neuronostatin also affects proliferation rates and metabolism within neuronal cells via activation of GPR107 and PKA[4][5]
Peripheral Tissues
Neuronostatin/GPR107 signaling is associated with regulation of COL4 within both breast cancer and kidney tissues, where Neuronostatin/GPR107 reduces expression of COL4.[7][6]. In breast cancer, this reduction in COL4 generates enlarged pores that allow for increase breast cancer migration and proliferation, leading to increased rates of metastasis[7]. Neuronostatin and GPR107 have similarly been linked to increased rates of migration within prostate cancer[8]. Within kidney tissues, Neuronostatin/GPR107 reduces thickening/remodeling of the glomerular basement membrane by reducing COL4 deposition and improves features of diabetic nephropathy[6]
Additional features of Neuronostatin signaling include regulation of cardiomyocytes; Neuronostatin depresses cardiomyocyte function by affecting [Ca2+]i responses and regulating the expression of calcium regulating proteins[9]
