Description
Product Characteristics: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. Studies in rodents suggest that the full-length protein, secretogranin II, is involved in the packaging or sorting of peptide hormones and neuropeptides into secretory vesicles. The full-length protein is cleaved to produce the active peptide secretoneurin, which exerts chemotaxic effects on specific cell types, and EM66, whose function is unknown.,SCG2,CHGC,EM66,SN,SgII,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Apoptosis,Immunology & Inflammation,Cytokines,Neuroscience,Cardiovascular,Angiogenesis,SCG2
