Background
S100 calcium binding protein A8(S100A8) Homo sapiens 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. This protein may function in the inhibition of casein kinase and as a cytokine. Altered expression of this protein is associated with the disease cystic fibrosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function
function:Expressed by macrophages in chronic inflammations. Also expressed in epithelial cells constitutively or induced during dermatoses. May interact with components of the intermediate filaments in monocytes and epithelial cells.,miscellaneous:Binds two calcium ions per molecule with an affinity similar to that of the S100 proteins.,similarity:Belongs to the S-100 family.,similarity:Contains 2 EF-hand domains.,subunit:Homodimer.,
