Chromogranin A-derived peptides pancreastatin and catestatin: emerging therapeutic target for diabetes.
Chromogranin A (ChgA) is an acidic pro-protein found in neuroendocrine organs, pheochromocytoma chromaffin granules, and tumor cells. Proteolytic processing of ChgA gives rise to an array of biologically active peptides such as pancreastatin (PST), vasost.....
