Description
Product Characteristics:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs.S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of awide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number ofcellular processes such as cell cycle progression anddifferentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which arelocated as a cluster on chromosome 1q21. This protein may have atumor suppressor function. Chromosomal rearrangements and alteredexpression of this gene have been implicated in breast cancer.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: S100 calcium binding protein A2, CAN19, MGC111539, Protein S 100L, Protein S-100L, Protein S100 A2, Protein S100-A2, Protein S100L, S100 A2, S100 calcium-binding protein A2, S100A2, S100L, S10A2_HUMAN.
Target Information: 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]
