Abstract excerpt
Chromogranin B (CgB), a major member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of catecholamine storage vesicle secretory proteins, plays both intracellular (vesiculogenic) and extracellular (prohormone) roles in the neuroendocrine system, and its biosynthesis and release are under the control of efferent sympathetic nerve traffic ("stimulus-transcription coupling"). To explore the role of heredity in control of...
