Chromogranin A / CHGA (Neuroendocrine Marker) (CHGA/1773R) , Biotin conjugate , 0.1mg / mL

Chromogranin A is present in neuroendocrine cells throughout the body , including the neuroendocrine cells of the large and small intestine , adrenal medulla and pancreatic islets. It is an excellent marker for carcinoid tumors , pheochromocytomas , paragangliomas , and other neuroendocrine tumors. Co-expression of chromogranin A and neuron specific enolase (NSE) is common in neuroendocrine neoplasms. Reportedly , co-expression of certain keratins and chromogranin indicates neuroendocrine lineage. The presence of strong anti-chromogranin staining and absence of anti-keratin staining should raise the possibility of paraganglioma. The co-expression of chromogranin and NSE is typical of neuroendocrine neoplasms. Most pituitary adenomas and prolactinomas readily express chromogranin.Primary antibodies are available purified , or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets , because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
