Somatostatin venom analogs evolved by fish-hunting cone snails: From prey capture behavior to identifying drug leads

Somatostatin (SS) is a peptide hormone with diverse physiological roles. By investigating a deep-water clade of fish-hunting cone snails, we show that predator-prey evolution has generated a diverse set of SS analogs, each optimized to elicit specific systemic physiological effects in prey. The incr...
