Abstract

This commentary is focusing on novel aspects on the secreted CgA- and SgII-derived peptides, vasostatin-I (bovine and human CgA(1-76), VS-I), WE-14 (CgA(316-329)), catestatin (bovine CgA(344-366), human CgA(352-372), Cts) and the SgII-derived secretoneurin (SgII(180-204)) as significant regulators of inflammatory reactions.
