Secretogranin II is an acidic secretory protein in large dense core vesicles of endocrine, neuroendocrine and neuronal tissues. It comprises, together with chromogranins A and B, the class of proteins collectively called chromogranins. In this review the physico-chemical properties, genomic organization, tissue distribution, synthesis regulation, ontogeny and physiological function of this protein are discussed. Secretogranin II gained interest recently for mainly three reasons: (1) secretogranin II is an excellent marker for the regulated secretory pathway due to its simple and specific metabolic labeling by inorganic sulfate; (2) secretogranin II occurs in a variety of neoplasms arising from endocrine and neuroendocrine cells and was shown to be a useful histological tumor marker for these cells; (3) secretogranin II is the precursor of the recently discovered neuropeptide secretoneurin which induces dopamine release in the striatum of the rat brain.
