Chromogranin A antibody recognizes Chromogranin A, a secretory granule glycoprotein encoded by the CHGA gene and a hallmark marker of neuroendocrine differentiation. Chromogranin A Antibody Protein Microarray Validated is a mouse monoclonal antibody confirmed for target specificity using a high-density human protein microarray platform. Chromogranin A localizes to the cytoplasm within dense-core secretory granules of endocrine and neuroendocrine cells, where it plays a central role in hormone packaging and regulated secretion.
Chromogranin A antibody, also referred to as CHGA antibody, CgA antibody, and CGA antibody in the literature, targets a member of the granin family of acidic secretory proteins. Synthesized as a precursor protein, Chromogranin A undergoes proteolytic cleavage to generate biologically active peptides including vasostatin, pancreastatin, and catestatin. These peptides are involved in modulation of cardiovascular tone, glucose metabolism, and neuroendocrine signaling. Within the trans-Golgi network, Chromogranin A promotes aggregation of peptide hormones and contributes to biogenesis and structural stability of secretory granules.
CHGA expression is characteristic of adrenal medulla chromaffin cells, pancreatic islet cells, gastrointestinal enteroendocrine cells, parathyroid tissue, and other dispersed neuroendocrine cell populations. The expected immunohistochemical pattern is cytoplasmic granular staining corresponding to secretory vesicle localization. Because of this lineage-restricted distribution, Chromogranin A is widely used in research as a reliable marker of neuroendocrine differentiation.
Protein microarray validation involves screening the antibody against thousands of individual full-length human proteins to confirm preferential binding to Chromogranin A with minimal cross-reactivity. High Z-score and S-score values support strong and specific interaction with the intended target relative to off-target proteins. This orthogonal specificity assessment provides an additional layer of confidence in antibody performance for research applications.
Chromogranin A Antibody Protein Microarray Validated is suitable for studies investigating neuroendocrine tissue biology, tumor differentiation, and secretory pathway regulation at NSJ Bioreagents.
This CHGA antibody is part of a broader Chromogranin A antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the Chromogranin A antibody protein microarray validated should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 23-165 was used as the immunogen for the Chromogranin A antibody.
Aliquot the Chromogranin A antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
