Secretagogin is a Ca 2+ -binding protein specifying subpopulations of telencephalic neurons

What is it about?

In this study we, for the first time, identified secretagogin as a neuron-specific Ca2+- binding protein in the mammalian brain. Interestingly, we found secretagogin to be expressed, among others, in mouse dentate gyrus granule cells – while in primates it is restricted to cholinergic neurons in basal forebrain.
