The catecholamine release-inhibitory peptide catestatin (chromogranin A344-363) modulates myocardial function in fish.
Catestatin (CST), the 21-amino acid, cationic and hydrophobic peptide proteolytically derived from the ubiquitous chromogranin A (CgA), is an endogenous inhibitor of catecholamine release, a potent vasodilator in vivo and an anti-hypertensive agent in mammals, including humans. Recently, we discovered that CST also functions as an important negative modulator of heart performance in frog and ra...
متن کاملCatestatin, a chromogranin A-derived peptide, is sympathoinhibitory and attenuates sympathetic barosensitivity and the chemoreflex in rat CVLM.
Hypertension is a major cause of morbidity. The neuropeptide catestatin [human chromogranin A-(352-372)] is a peptide product of the vesicular protein chromogranin A. Studies in the periphery and in vitro studies show that catestatin blocks nicotine-stimulated catecholamine release and interacts with β-adrenoceptors and histamine receptors. Catestatin immunoreactivity is present in the rostral ...
متن کاملIdentification of novel loci affecting circulating chromogranins and related peptides.
Chromogranins are pro-hormone secretory proteins released from neuroendocrine cells, with effects on control of blood pressure. We conducted a genome-wide association study for plasma catestatin, the catecholamine release inhibitory peptide derived from chromogranin A (CHGA), and other CHGA- or chromogranin B (CHGB)-related peptides, in 545 US and 1252 Australian subjects. This identified loci ...
متن کاملNovel autocrine feedback control of catecholamine release. A discrete chromogranin a fragment is a noncompetitive nicotinic cholinergic antagonist.
Catecholamine secretory vesicle core proteins (chromogranins) contain an activity that inhibits catecholamine release, but the identity of the responsible peptide has been elusive. Size-fractionated chromogranins antagonized nicotinic cholinergic-stimulated catecholamine secretion; the inhibitor was enriched in processed chromogranin fragments, and was liberated from purified chromogranin A. Of...
متن کاملChromogranin A, the Major Catecholamine Storage Vesicle Soluble Protein
Chromogranin A (CgA), the major catecholamine storage vesicle (CSV) soluble protein, may index exocytotic sympathoadrenal secretion. To explore CgA in adrenergic tissues, we developed a radioimmunoassay for bovine CgA. Within adrenal medulla CSV, several minor chromogranins had similar amino acid compositions and peptide maps to that of CgA and also showed parallel, partial cross-reactivity in ...
