NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI 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.

Uniprot Description
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.

Product Notes
The CHGA chga (Catalog #AAA684200) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti - Chromogranin A reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Chromogranin A can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) - Formalin/Paraffin. IHC-P dilution 1:100 - 1:200; IHC-Fr dilution to be tested by the user. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CHGA chga for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Chromogranin A, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
