Pancreastatin, rat polyclonal, anti-rat

Quantity: 100 µl

Background:
Chromogranin A or parathyroid secretory protein 1 (gene name CHGA) is a member of the granin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins, i.e., it is located in secretory vesicles of neurons and endocrine cells. In humans, chromogranin A protein is encoded by the CHGA gene.Chromogranin A is the precursor to several functional peptides including pancreastatin.

Synonyms:
CHGA

Specificity:
Absorption with 10-100 ?g immunogen per ml diluted antiserum abolishes the staining.
