S100 calcium binding protein A7 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 differs from the other S100 proteins of known structure in its lack of calcium binding ability in one EF-hand at the N-terminus.
This protein is markedly over-expressed in the skin lesions of psoriatic patients, but is excluded as a candidate gene for familial psoriasis susceptibility.
The protein functions as a prominent antimicrobial peptide mainly against E.
coli.
