Background
S100 calcium binding protein A2(S100A2) 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 have a tumor suppressor function. Chromosomal rearrangements and altered expression of this gene have been implicated in breast cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
developmental stage:Preferentially expressed in normal human mammary epithelial cells as opposed to tumor-derived ones. The level of S100L was shown to correlate inversely with tumor progression.,function:May act as a modulator against excess calcium accumulation in normal human mammary epithelial cells. May also play a role in suppressing tumor cell growth.,induction:By growth factors in early G1 phase and probably by cell-cycle regulation in S phase. DNA methylation probably plays a direct negative role in suppressing S100L gene expression in tumor cells.,miscellaneous:This protein binds two calcium ions.,similarity:Belongs to the S-100 family.,similarity:Contains 2 EF-hand domains.,tissue specificity:A subset of epithelial cells including normal human mammary epithelial cells and keratinocytes.,
