Abstract excerpt
In normal brain, secretogranin II and chromogranins A and S are extensively converted by endopeptidases to the peptides secretoneurin, GE-19, and PE-11, respectively. After genetic knockout of PC2 or its helper protein 7B2, but not after mutation of carboxypeptidase E, endoproteolytic processing decreased, as indicated by appearance of intermediate-sized processing products.
