NCBI Summary for CgA

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.

UniProt Comments for CgA

Function: Pancreastatin strongly inhibits glucose induced insulin release from the pancreas.

Subunit structure: Interacts with SCG3

By similarity.

Subcellular location: Cytoplasmic vesicle › secretory vesicle lumen

By similarity. Cytoplasmic vesicle › secretory vesicle membrane

By similarity. Secreted. Note: Associated with the secretory granule membrane through direct interaction to SCG3 that in turn binds to cholesterol-enriched lipid rafts in intragranular conditions

By similarity.

Post-translational modification: Sulfated on tyrosine residues and/or contains sulfated glycans.O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. Ref.16 Ref.20

Miscellaneous: Binds calcium with a low-affinity.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the chromogranin/secretogranin protein family.
