CHGA, His

SYNONYMS
CGA, CHGA, Vasostatin-2, Pituitary secretory protein I, SP-I.

INTRODUCTION
Chromgranin-A is part of the neuroendocrine secretory protein family. CHGA is located in secretory vesicles of neurons and endocrine cells. Chromgranin-A 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. Chromgranin-A has numerous biological activities on some tissues and organs and exerts a large spectrum of homeostatic actions, including antifungal and antimicrobial effect, modulation of cell adhesion, and inhibition of parathyroid hormone secretion.

DESCRIPTION
Recombinant Human CHGA produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 460 amino acids (19-457 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 51.2kDa (Molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will appear higher).
Chromgranin-A is fused to 21 amino acid His Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
