SCG3 (Secretogranin-3) IHC Antibody

Description

SCG3 (secretogranin III) is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. Genetic variations in the SCG3 gene may influence the risk of obesity through possible regulation of hypothalamic neuropeptide secretion. SCG3 was the only gene within a haplotype block that contained rs3764220. SCG3 mRNA and immunoreactivity were detected in the paraventricular nucleus, lateral hypothalamic area, and arcuate nucleus, and the protein coexisted with orexin, melanin-concentrating hormone, neuropeptide Y, and proopiomelanocortin. SCG3 formed a granule-like structure together with these neuropeptides.
