We have cloned a new member of the granin family, termed human secretogranin III (SgIII), that encodes 468 amino acid residues. The human SgIII protein possesses an N-terminal signal peptide, seven dibasic sites, and the repeated DSTK sequences. These structure characteristics are similar to other members of secretogranin family. The human SgIII has homologous proteins in mouse, rat, and Xenopus laevis. Genomic organization shows the gene includes 12 coding exons spanning 39 kb of genomic DNA on the human chromosome 15. Human SgIII is expressed widely as showed in Northern blot and its cDNA hybridizes to 2.2 kb and 1.9 kb bands in many tissues, with two additional 4.5 kb and 3.3 kb bands in brain. Subcelluar localization and immunoblotting indicated SgIII was secreted out of cell through trans-Golgi network (TGN). SgIII may take effect in the biogenesis of secretory granules as a helper protein and be involved in the production or release of peptide hormones in the regulated secretory pathway.

Secretogranin II (SgII) and III (SgIII) function within peptide hormone-producing cells and are involved in secretory granule formation. However, their function in active amine-producing cells is not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of SgII and SgIII in canine adrenal medulla and pheochromocytomas by immunohistochemical staining.

Background: New fluid biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that reveal synaptic and neural network dysfunctions are needed for clinical practice and therapeutic trial design. Dense core vesicle (DCV) cargos are promising cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) indicators of synaptic failure in AD patients. However, their value as biomarkers has not yet been determined.

The experiment of inertial confinement fusion by the "ShengGuang (SG)-III" prototype laser facility is a transient and extreme reaction process within several nanoseconds, which could form a very complicated and intense electromagnetic field around the target chamber of the facility and may lead to harmful effect on people around. In particular, the biological effects arising from such specific environment field could hardly be ignored and have never been investigated yet, and thus, we reported on the investigation of the biological effects of radiation on HaCat cells and PC12 cells to preliminarily assess the biological safety of the target range of the "SG-III" prototype laser facility. The viability revealed that the damage of cells was dose-dependent.

Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a leading cause of vision loss in the elderly. The advent of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs represents a major breakthrough in wet AMD therapy but with limited efficacy to improve visual acuity. Secretogranin III (Scg3, SgIII) was recently discovered as a novel angiogenic factor with VEGF-independent mechanisms.

Altered fecal levels of chromogranins (Cg) and secretogranins (Sg) are demonstrated in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but their role in IBS pathophysiology remains unknown. This study aimed to determine if granins are associated with bacterial composition, immune activation and IBS symptoms. Protein levels of fecal granins (CgA, CgB, SgII and SgIII) were analysed with immunoassays.
