Abstract:
Chromogranin A (CGA) has been considered as the most useful indicator of neuroendocrine activity.It is the precursor of many biologically active peptides produced by proteolytic cleavage,which play their roles in a large variety of patterns in different tissue.Clinically,CGA is of diagnostic and evaluation value in several diseases.The protein structure,biological and physiological functions as well as the clinical significance of CGA are reviewed in this article.
