Preferred Label : Granulins;
MeSH definition : Small, cysteine-rich peptides generated by the proteolytic cleavage of progranulin.
Granulin peptides are each composed of a granulin-motif, while paragranulin is composed
of a half granulin motif. The mammalian granulins are named granulin 1-7 for their
sequence order in the progranulin propeptide, and are alternately named granulin G,
F, B, A, C, D, and E; or epithelin 7, 6, 2, 1, 3, 4, and 5, i.e. granulin 1 aka granulin
G aka epithelin 7, etc.; Small, cysteine-rich peptides generated by the proteolytic cleavage of progranulin.
