This antibody recognises human chromogranin A, a secreted peptide that inhibits glucose-induced insulin release. Chromogranin A is an activator of microglia and is notably upregulated and prominantly expressed in the senile plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease.

General Notes
Sheep anti Human Chromogranin antibodyrecognizes human chromogranin A, a secreted peptide that inhibits glucose-induced insulin release. Chromogranin A is an activator of microglia (Taupenaut et al. 1996) and is notably upregulated and prominantly expressed in the senile plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease (Yasuhara et al. 1994).
