Pancreastatin. Strongly inhibits glucose induced insulin release from the pancreas. Catestatin. Inhibits catecholamine release from chromaffin cells and noradrenergic neurons by acting as a non-competitive nicotinic cholinergic antagonist (PubMed:15326220). Displays antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus and M.luteus, and Gram-negative bacteria E.coli and P.aeruginosa (PubMed:15723172, PubMed:24723458). Can induce mast cell migration, degranulation and production of cytokines and chemokines (PubMed:21214543). Acts as a potent scavenger of free radicals in vitro (PubMed:24723458). May play a role in the regulation of cardiac function and blood pressure (PubMed:18541522). Serpinin. 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.

Chromogranin A (CgA) sometimes called chromagranin A is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 49–52 kDa. It is highly expressed in the secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells present in tissues such as the adrenal medulla pancreas and endocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract. CgA identified as part of a family including chromogranin B and chromogranin C functions mechanically as a precursor to various bioactive peptides. This translates into its involvement in the storage and release of hormones and peptides within vesicles.
Chromogranin A assists in the regulation of secretory pathways across multiple neuroendocrine systems. It plays a role in hormone storage conversion to active peptides and regulates the exocytosis of hormones. CgA acts within a complex contributing to secretory granule biogenesis and influencing intravesicular acidity. As a regulatory component the exact physiological roles are diverse impacting cardiovascular metabolic and immunological processes.
Chromogranin A is involved in pathways such as the catecholamine synthesis and release pathway and the serotonergic pathway. Within these pathways it interacts with proteins like secretogranin II and parathyroid hormone (PTH). These interactions modulate neurotransmitter storage and secretion across various systems. CgA's bioactive peptides also contribute to modulating physiological processes like vasoconstriction and insulin regulation linking it closely with these signaling cascades.
Chromogranin A is a known marker for neuroendocrine tumors where its levels in blood may increase due to tumor activity. It links to diseases like pheochromocytoma and carcinoid tumors where improper regulation of CgA-associated pathways occurs. Additionally its connection to parathyroid disorders through the PTH pathway illustrates its broader implication in endocrine pathophysiology. CgA serves as an invaluable diagnostic and prognostic tool in these disease states and supports the development of targeted therapies.
