This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This CMGA antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 376-404 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human CMGA.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. It is found in secretory vesicles of neurons and endocrine cells. This gene product is a precursor to three biologically active peptides, vasostatin, pancreastatin, and parastatin. These peptides act as autocrine or paracrine negative modulators of the neuroendocrine system. Other peptides, including chromostatin, beta-granin, WE-14 and GE-25, are also derived from the full-length protein. However, biological activities for these molecules have not been shown.
