neuroendocrine secretory protein 55 (NESP55, guanine nucleotide-binding protein, alpha-stimulating activity polypeptide 1, secretogranin 6, GNAS, GNAS1)

Function

• binds keratan sulfate chains
• proteolytically processed to give rise to a active peptides Neuroendocrine secretory granules

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=6 produced by a bicistronic gene which also produces the ALEX protein from an overlapping reading frame.
