Chromaffin Granule Storage Vesicles

Molecular classification: Organelle, Storage Vesicle

Overview

Chromaffin granule storage vesicles are specialized secretory organelles found primarily in the adrenal medulla's chromaffin cells. They serve as the main storage and release sites for catecholamine neurohormones—primarily epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline)—as well as other bioactive molecules. They are not direct therapeutic targets, but rather subcellular structures essential for hormone storage and release.
