- Description of Target:
- VGF is specifically expressed in a subpopulation of neuroendocrine cells, and is upregulated by nerve growth factor. It also shares similarities with the secretogranin/chromogranin family, however, its exact function is not known.This gene is specifically expressed in a subpopulation of neuroendocrine cells, and is upregulated by nerve growth factor. The structural organization of this gene is similar to that of the rat gene, and both the translated and the untranslated regions show a high degree of sequence similarity to the rat gene. The encoded secretory protein also shares similarities with the secretogranin/chromogranin family, however, its exact function is not known.
