Protein S100-B, S-100 protein beta chain, S-100 protein subunit beta, S100 calcium-binding protein B, S100B
Product description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100
family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs.
S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a
wide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number of
cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and
differentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which are
located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21; however, this gene is
located at 21q22.3. This protein may function in Neurite extension,
proliferation of melanoma cells, stimulation of Ca2+ fluxes,
inhibition of PKC-mediated phosphorylation, astrocytosis and axonal
proliferation, and inhibition of microtubule assembly. Chromosomal
rearrangements and altered expression of this gene have been
implicated in several neurological, neoplastic, and other types of
diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, epilepsy,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, melanoma, and type I diabetes.1) Sahoo, N., et al. FEBS Lett. 584(18):3896-3900(2010)
