Gene: SCG3

Alternate names for this Gene: SGIII

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. Granins may serve as precursors for biologically active peptides. Some granins have been shown to function as helper proteins in sorting and proteolytic processing of prohormones; however, the function of this protein is unknown. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q21.2

Description of this Gene: secretogranin III

Type of Gene: protein-coding
