Chga - chromogranin A Gene

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 24258

Summary

Involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-activating Adrenergic Receptor signaling pathway involved in cardiac muscle relaxation; positive regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of blood circulation. Located in chromaffin granule; extracellular space; and neuronal dense core vesicle. Biomarker of hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in IgA glomerulonephritis; end stage renal disease; hypertension; and prostate Cancer. Orthologous to human CHGA (chromogranin A).
