Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The human prohormone chromogranin A (CHGA), an index member of the granin family is processed to generate catestatin, a peptide that is hypotensive in action and modulates catecholamine release within the sympathoadrenal system. Hypertensive patients with excess sympathetic activity have diminished catestatin. Often the study of physiological consequences of human genetic variation is confounded by...
