SCG2

SCG2, also called secretogranin II (chromogranin C), is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the SCG2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the is_associated_with::chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. Studies in rodents suggest that the full-length protein, secretogranin II, is involved in the packaging or sorting of peptide hormones and neuropeptides into secretory vesicles. The full-length protein is cleaved to produce the active peptide is_associated_with::secretoneurin, which exerts chemotaxic effects on specific cell types, and EM66, whose function is unknown.
