Somatostatin inhibits the actions of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone , also a hypothalamus hormone, which controls the release of Growth Hormone. Braasch s Somatostatin vaccine technology allows the immune system to temporarily reduce, but not completely eliminate, the mostly inhibitory actions of Somatostatin. The vaccination effect causes more Growth Hormone to be released, which in turn stimulates the release of IGF 1 from the liver.

Even in adults it continues to play a role in the regulation and expression of genes for insulin, GLUT2, glucokinase, and somatostatin . MODY 4 is so rare that only a single family has been well studied. A child born with pancreatic agenesis absence of the pancreas was found to be homozygous for Pdx 1 mutations.
