Secretogranin-V is a protein encoded by the SCG5 gene. The recombinant form of this protein is typically produced in E. coli and includes a C-terminal His-tag for purification purposes . The amino acid sequence of the recombinant human Secretogranin-V corresponds to residues 27-212 of the native protein .
Recent studies have highlighted the potential of Secretogranin-V as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for pancreatic adenocarcinomas . Machine learning models have identified SCG5 as a key gene whose expression is significantly reduced in pancreatic cancer tissues compared to normal tissues . Furthermore, plasma levels of SCG5 have been correlated with body mass index and age, suggesting a role in systemic energy metabolism .
