In expressing the recombinant Human VGF protein, e.coli cells are transfected with a DNA expression vector that harbors the gene for the desired protein (23-206aa). The cultured cells then express the intended protein. The protein is equipped with a N-terminal 10xHis-GST tag and C-terminal Myc tag. The recombinant Human VGF protein is collected and purified from the cell lysate through affinity purification, achieving a purity surpassing 85%, as confirmed by SDS-PAGE.

Neurosecretory protein VGF
Target Function
Secreted polyprotein that is packaged and proteolytically processed by prohormone convertases PCSK1 and PCSK2 in a cell-type-specific manner. VGF and peptides derived from its processing play many roles in neurogenesis and neuroplasticity associated with learning, memory, depression and chronic pain.; Plays a role in the control of body fluid homeostasis by regulating vasopressin release. Suppresses presynaptic glutamatergic neurons connected to vasopressin neurons.; Plays a role in the control of body fluid homeostasis by regulating vasopressin release. Activates GABAergic interneurons which are inhibitory neurons of the nervous system and thereby suppresses presynaptic glutamatergic neurons. Stimulates also feeding behavior in an orexin-dependent manner in the hypothalamus. Functions as a positive regulator for the activation of orexin neurons resulting in elevated gastric acid secretion and gastric emptying.; Secreted multifunctional neuropeptide that binds to different cell receptors and thereby plays multiple physiological roles including modulation of energy expenditure, pain, response to stress, gastric regulation, glucose homeostasis as well as lipolysis. Activates the G-protein-coupled receptor C3AR1 via a folding-upon-binding mechanism leading to enhanced lipolysis in adipocytes. Interacts with C1QBP receptor in macrophages and microglia causing increased levels of intracellular calcium and hypersensitivity.; Plays a role in the regulation of memory formation and depression-related behaviors potentially by influencing synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis. Induces acute and transient activation of the NTRK2/TRKB receptor and subsequent CREB phosphorylation. Induces also insulin secretion in insulinoma cells by increasing intracellular calcium mobilization.; Has bactericidal activity against M. luteus, and antifungal activity against P. Pastoris.
Target Subcellular Location
[Neurosecretory protein VGF]: Secreted. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle. Note=Stored in secretory vesicles and then secreted, NERP peptides colocalize with vasopressin in the storage granules of hypothalamus.
Target Tissue Specificity
Central and peripheral nervous systems, synthesized exclusively in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells.

Target Synonyms
NERP-1; NERP-2; Nerve growth factor inducible; Neuroendocrine regulatory peptide-2; Neurosecretory protein VGF; VGF; VGF_HUMAN
Target Background
This gene is specifically expressed in a subpopulation of neuroendocrine cells, and is upregulated by nerve growth factor. The structural organization of this gene is similar to that of the rat gene, and both the translated and the untranslated regions show a high degree of sequence similarity to the rat gene. The encoded secretory protein also shares similarities with the secretogranin/chromogranin family, however, its exact function is not known.
