Popis: A number of peptides derived from the large chromogranin precursor proteins have been identified in neuroendocrine tissues and several of them have been attributed with functional data. In addition, various fragments were shown to be liberated by the action of prohormone convertases. This is in accordance with the concept that these peptides represent the mediators of at least part of the yet unidentified physiological functions of the chromogranins.
