Abstract	Chromogranin B and other members of the granin protein family form condensates that recruit clients like proinsulin. The condensation in the lumen of trans-Golgi network (TGN) is critical for the biogenesis of secretory granules. Here, we describe a protocol to purify the tagged version of chromogranin B close to its native form at the TGN, which can then be utilized for microscopy-based assays to monitor condensate formation in vitro and client partitioning depending on the material properties of chromogranin B assemblies. Key features • First instance of purification of full-length and tagged version of members of the chromogranin family of proteins. • Allows purification of proteins with post-translational modifications that are acquired en route in the secretory pathway, thus closely resembling their native form at the TGN.
