Secretagogin Antibody – RPCA-SCGN-AP

Encor Rabbit polyclonal to Secretagogin

Secretagogin is a member of the EF-hand (E-helix-loop-F-helix-hand) superfamily of calcium-binding proteins. It was first cloned from pancreatic islets of Langerhans and neuroendocrine cells and is highly expressed in theses tissues (1). Initially it is thought to be restricted to neuroendocrine cells, but it is now evident that secretagogin is expressed in numerous brain regions (2,3). The expression pattern of secretagogin is not conserved from rodents to humans. While human brain reveals an expression maximum in the cerebellum, in rat and mouse brain by far the highest expression of secretagogin is found in the olfactory bulb . Secretagogin has been shown to be involved in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and is a strong candidate as a biomarker for endocrine tumors (4), and might be a useful biomarker for neuronal damage, stroke, and eventually psychiatric conditions (2,5-7). Moreover, secretagogin has been hypothesized to exert a neuroprotective role in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (8).

This antibody was raised against human secrtagogin protein expressed in and purified from E.coli.
