Catestatin is a multifunctional peptide that is involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular
and immune systems as well as metabolic homeostatis. It mitigates detrimental, excessive …

Autoreactive CD4+ T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases,
but the antigens that stimulate their responses have been difficult to identify and in most …

Chromogranin A (CgA)—the index member of the chromogranin/secretogranin secretory
protein family—is ubiquitously distributed in endocrine, neuroendocrine, and immune cells …

The dense-core secretory granule is a key organelle for secretion of hormones and
neuropeptides in endocrine cells and neurons, in response to stimulation. Cholesterol and …

Before transmitter-filled synaptic vesicles can fuse with the plasma membrane upon
stimulation they have to be primed to fusion competence. The regulation of this priming …

Chromogranin A (CgA (CHGA)) is the major soluble protein co-stored and co-released with
catecholamines and can function as a pro-hormone by giving rise to several bioactive …

Accounting for almost one-third of the global mortality, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)
represent a major global health issue. Emerging data suggest that most of the well …

Circulating levels of catestatin (Cts; human chromogranin A352–372) decrease in the
plasma of patients with essential hypertension. Genetic ablation of the chromogranin A …

The presence of activin A and its effects have previously been documented in the adrenal
