Scope note: Grupo de proteínas ácidas que son el principal componente de los GRANULOS SECRETORES de las células endocrinas y neuroendocrinas. Juegan un papel importante en la agregación, empaquetado, ordenación y procesado de las proteínas secretoras antes de la secreión. Se dividen para liberar péptidos biologicamente activos. Existen diversos tipos de graninas, que se clasifican según sus procedencias.

Scope note: A group of acidic proteins that are major components of SECRETORY GRANULES in the endocrine and neuroendocrine cells. They play important roles in the aggregation, packaging, sorting, and processing of secretory protein prior to secretion. They are cleaved to release biologically active peptides. There are various types of granins, usually classified by their sources.
