Three closely related forms of a 21 kDa protein which is co-secreted with insulin have been purified and analysed. These differed in behaviour on ion-exchange chromatography but were indistinguishable by their susceptibility to staphylococcal V8 proteinase digestion, amino acid composition or N-terminal amino acid sequence. Their amino acid composition and N-terminal sequences were remarkably similar to adrenal medullary chromogranin A, a much larger protein (72 kDa). Antibodies to chromogranin A also reacted strongly with the 21 kDa protein in isolated insulin granules. It is concluded that the 21 kDa proteins either represent a repeated domain within the chromogranin molecule or a closely related gene product. The name beta-granin is proposed for these proteins.
