S100 proteins, such as S100A2, are small, acidic Ca(2+)-binding proteins that transduce Ca(2+)-signals via interaction with intracellular target proteins (Mandinova et al., 1998)
S100 calcium binding protein A2 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.
