Secretagogin

Secretagogin is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SCGN is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The encoded protein is a secreted calcium-binding protein which is found in the is_associated_with::cytoplasm. It is related to calbindin D-28K and is_associated_with::calretinin. This protein is thought to be involved in is_associated_with::potassium chloride-stimulated calcium flux and is_associated_with::cell proliferation. This protein plays an important role in the release of the stress hormone is_associated_with::Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and which only then enables stress processes in the brain.
