Abstract
Secretoneurin is a newly discovered 33-amino-acid peptide derived from secretogranin II (chromogranin C) that is found in sensory afferent C-fibers. We show here that secretoneurin triggers the selective migration of human monocytes in vitro and in vivo. Combinations of secretoneurin with the sensory neuropeptides, substance P or somatostatin, synergistically stimulate such migration. The attraction of monocytes represents the first established function of secretoneurin as a sensory neuropeptide.Entities:
