Chromogranin A Information for Pathologists

Summary:

Granin protein located in secretory vesicles of neurons and endocrine cells (Clin Invest Med 1995;18:47, Endocr Rev 2011;32:755). Immunostain is specific but not sensitive for neuroendocrine cells; more sensitive in well differentiated vs. poorly differentiated tumors. Antibody binds acidic glycoproteins in the soluble fraction of neurosecretory granules. Serum levels may not be useful for diagnosis (Biomarkers 2012;17:186), but changes in levels may reflect response to therapy or recurrence (Folia Biol (Praha) 2011;57:173). Terminology

Common Uses By Pathologists:

Commonly used neuroendocrine marker (also synaptophysin and CD56) for normal cells and neuroendocrine tumors. Helps differentiate pheochromocytoma (almost always positive) from adrenocortical carcinoma (almost always negative, Am J Surg Pathol 2010;34:423).
