5. Secretagogin Protein

The role of Secretagogin Protein is demonstrated by the scientists at the Hyderabad based Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)- Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB). Let us tell you that the role of Secretagogin protein is increasing in insulin action in obesity-induced diabetes. The process that regulates insulin synthesis, secretion, signaling and maturation in diabetes was not completely understood by scientists. These findings were published in the journal iScience issue.

Important points about Secretagogin protein.

- This protein in humans is encoded by the SCGN gene.

- The encoded protein is a secreted calcium-binding protein that is found in the cytoplasm.

- SCGN in the future will become a diagnostic marker and should check its potential in diabetes management.
