Catestatin (CST) is a neuroendocrine peptide which is derived from the chromogranin A. It has been demonstrated that CST can affect a wide range of processes, such as innate immunity, inflammatory and autoimmune reactions, and several homeostatic regulations. Furthermore, CST is positive against several kinds of bacterial strains at micromolecular range, which shows its antimicrobial activity. Recently, the role of CST in acute and chronic pain has attracted much attention. In this review, we discussed the latest research findings of CST and its role in innate immunity and pain.
