Chromogranins in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Epilepsia, 2000
Summary: Purpose: Chromogranins are neuropeptide precursors stored in large dense core vesicles. Because physiological functions have been postulated for peptides originating from chromogranins, we investigated the distribution of chromogranins A and B and secretoneurin (a peptide derived from secretogranin II) in the control and epileptic ...

Chromogranin A.

Clinical and investigative medicine. Medecine clinique et experimentale, 1995
Chromogranin A (CgA) is the major member of the granin family of acidic secretory glycoproteins that are expressed in all endocrine and neuroendocrine cells. Granins have been proposed to play multiple roles in the secretory process. Intracellularly, granins play a role in targeting peptide hormones and neurotransmitters to granules of the regulated ...

Neuropeptides and Chromogranins

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2002
Abstract: In large dense core vesicles, also referred to as chromaffin granules in adrenomedullary chromaffin cells, transmitters or hormones are stored together with neuropeptides and chromogranins. For most neuropeptides, functions have been established and new findings on their secretion, receptors, and synthesis regulation are reported.

Chromogranins: Current Concepts

2002
The large dense core secretory granules of adrenal medulla chromaffin cells synthesize, store and release catecholamines. Upon cell stimulation intragranular stored material is liberated into circulation to activate target organs. In addition to catecholamines, numerous peptides and proteins are present in chromaffin secretory granules and are ...

The Chromogranin–Secretogranin Family

New England Journal of Medicine, 2003
The members of the chromogranin–secretogranin family of peptide hormones, biogenic amines, and neurotransmitters are enclosed within vesicles in the neuroendocrine system and a variety of neurons. These granins, the chief of which is chromogranin A, participate in sympathoadrenal activity and serve as markers of neuroendocrine tumors, especially ...

Chromogranins in sympathetic nerves

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1971
In post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons, biochemical and electron-microscopical evidence indicate that noradrenaline is stored within granules which, although smaller, resemble adrenal medullary chromaffin granules in some respects. This resemblance between neuronal and adrenal medullary granules has been extended by immunological and enzymic ...
