Background

Chromogranin A (CgA) is an 86 kDa protein that is the major member of the granin family of acidic secretory glycoproteins located in neuroendocrine cells. CgA is believed to play a role in targeting peptide hormones and neurotransmitters to granules of the regulated pathways and inhibit hormone and neurotransmitter release. Also, the widespread distribution of CgA has made the measurement of circulating immunoreactive CgA a valuable tool in the diagnosis of neuroendocrine neoplasia, and CgA immunohistochemistry can help to identify the neuroendocrine nature of tumors. The N-terminal domain of CgA inhibits tumor necrosis factor a (TNFa) induced gap formation in human umbilical venous endothelial cells. CgA levels which reflect neuroendocrine differentiation of prostatic carcinoma may have a diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic role in the management of prostate cancer patients.

FAQs for Chromogranin A Antibody (FAB90981H). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. I have following question about antibodies against Chromogranin A. Your products list the species but canine is not included. Does it mean that the products cannot be used on canine tissues?
   • When we do not list a species, it means we have not tested an antibody to work with those samples. If we test an antibody and find that it does not work, we will list the species with a minus sign. Unfortunately, we haven't tried these abs on canine tissues and they may work, but we cannot guarantee it. If you would like to purchase one to try, you will be eligible for the Innovators Reward Program.
