Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Secretagogin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCGN gene .[ 5] [ 6]
Function
The encoded protein is a secreted calcium -binding protein which is found in the cytoplasm . It is related to calbindin D-28K and calretinin . This protein is thought to be involved in potassium chloride -stimulated calcium flux and cell proliferation .[ 6] This protein plays an important role in the release of the stress hormone Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and which only then enables stress processes in the brain.
