Subcellular Location | [Neurosecretory protein VGF]- Secreted |
Developmental Stage | NA |
Similarity | NA |
Tissue Specificity | Central and peripheral nervous systems; synthesized exclusively in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells. |
Post Translational Modification | Multiple peptides are derived from VGF; with activities in synaptic plasticity; antidepression; penile erection; autonomic activation; and increases in energy expenditure. |
Function | [Neurosecretory protein VGF]- Secreted polyprotein that is packaged and proteolytically processed by prohormone convertases PCSK1 and PCSK2 in a cell-type-specific manner. VGF and peptides derived from its processing play many roles in neurogenesis and neuroplasticity associated with learning; memory; depression and chronic pain. |
