Human S100A6 protein (active)

9

S100A6 is a calcium-binding protein, which functions as calcium sensor and modulator, contributing to cellular calcium signaling. It is reported that S100B and S100A6 differentially modulate cell survival by Interacting with distinct RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products). Thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of S100A6 and RAGE. Briefly, recombinant human S100A6 were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 microl were then transferred to RAGE-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-S100A6 mAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37C. Finally, add 50 microl stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of of S100A6 and RAGE was in a dose dependent manner.

Protein S100-A6

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 stimulation of Ca2+-dependent insulin release, stimulation of prolactin secretion, and exocytosis. Chromosomal rearrangements and altered expression of this gene have been implicated in melanoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
