Overexpression of <it>Scg5 </it>increases enzymatic activity of PCSK2 and is inversely correlated with body weight in congenic mice

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The identification of novel genes is critical to understanding the molecular basis of body weight. Towards this goal, we have identified secretogranin V (<it>Scg5</it>; also referred to as <it>Sgne1</it>), as...
