		Technical Data
033840	CHGA, ID (CHGA, SS-18, WA-8, WE-14, LF-19, AL-11, GV-19, GR-44, Chromogranin-A, Pituitary secretory protein I, Vasostatin-1, Vasostatin I, Vasostatin-2, Vasostatin II, EA-92, ES-43, Pancreastatin, ER-37)

Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. It is found in secretory vesicles of neurons and endocrine cells. This gene product is a precursor to three biologically active peptides; vasostatin, pancreastatin, and parastatin. These peptides act as autocrine or paracrine negative modulators of the neuroendocrine system. Other peptides, including chromostatin, beta-granin, WE-14 and GE-25, are also derived from the full-length protein. However, biological activities for these molecules have not been shown.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, ELISA
