| 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. This protein may function in the inhibition of casein kinase and altered expression of this protein is associated with the disease cystic fibrosis. This antimicrobial protein exhibits antifungal and antibacterial activity. |

| Form : |
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. |
| Bio-activity : |
1. Measured by its ability to bind recombinant human S100A8-his in a functional ELISA.2. Measured by its ability to bind recombinant human his-S100A8 in a functional ELISA.3. Measured by its ability to inhibit the proliferation of MCF7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 10-30 μg/mL. |
