The Prohormone VGF Regulates β Cell Function via Insulin Secretory Granule Biogenesis
Cell Reports, 2017 The prohormone VGF is expressed in neuroendocrine and endocrine tissues and regulates nutrient and energy status both centrally and peripherally. We and others have shown that VGF-derived peptides have direct action on the islet β cell as secretagogues ...

Chromogranin A in neurons of the rat cerebellum and spinal cord: quantification and sites of expression [PDF]
, 1992 Chromogranin A (CGA) is an abundant protein of dense-cored secretory vesicles in endocrine and neuronal cells. The present study, for the first time, compares CGA of neurons of the central nervous system with the CGA of adrenal origin.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine and temozolomide for unresectable pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. [PDF]
, 2012 Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are relatively rare tumors that arise in the endocrine cells of the pancreas. Historically, somatostatin analogues have been used in this disease primarily for symptom control and, to a limited extent, disease ...

The Ion Channel Function of Mouse Chromogranin B [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 Chromogranins are known to play fundamentally important roles in the biogenesis, acidification and maturation as well as the regulated release of secretory granules in almost all endocrine cells. Elevated level of chromogranin A and B has been biomarkers for multiple different neuroendocrine tumors.

Chromogranin/secretogranin proteins in murine heart: myocardial production of chromogranin A fragment catestatin (Chga364–384) [PDF]
, 2010 In the heart, the secretory granules containing the atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) and B-type myocardial natriuretic peptide (BNP) provide the basis for the endocrine function of this organ.
