Disease relevance of S100A16

 

High impact information on S100A16

  • S100A16, a Novel Calcium-binding Protein of the EF-hand Superfamily [1].
  • Trp fluorescence variations indicate conformational changes in the orthologous proteins upon Ca(2+) binding, whereas formation of a hydrophobic patch, implicated in target protein recognition, only occurs in the human S100A16 protein [1].
  • Up-regulation of S100A16 was found in many tumors implying a central cellular function related to malignant transformation [2].
 

Biological context of S100A16

  • S100A16 protein is a new and unique member of the EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding proteins [1].
 

Associations of S100A16 with chemical compounds

  • Flow dialysis revealed that both homodimeric S100A16 proteins bind two Ca(2+) ions with the C-terminal EF-hand of each subunit, the human protein exhibiting a 2-fold higher affinity [1].
