GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SCG3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ90833, SgIII
Description
Secretogranin III (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez 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. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
