A1is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs.
This protein may function in stimulation of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, inhibition of microtubule assembly, and inhibition of protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation
Reduced expression of this protein has been implicated in cardiomyopathies.
S100A1 overexpression enhances cardiac contractile performance which suggests that S100A1 is a regulator of myocardial contractility.
S100A1 improves cardiac performance both by regulating calcium ion handling by the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the responsiveness of myofibrils to calcium ion.
