Chromogranin A Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [A3H1]

Strongly inhibits glucose induced insulin release from the pancreas.Inhibits catecholamine release from chromaffin cells and noradrenergic neurons by acting as a non-competitive nicotinic cholinergic antagonist. Displays antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus and M.luteus, and Gram-negative bacteria E.coli and P.aeruginosa . Can induce mast cell migration, degranulation and production of cytokines and chemokines . Acts as a potent scavenger of free radicals in vitro tion and blood pressure .Regulates granule biogenesis in endocrine cells by up-regulating the transcription of protease nexin 1 (SERPINE2) via a cAMP-PKA-SP1 pathway. This leads to inhibition of granule protein degradation in the Golgi complex which in turn promotes granule formation.
