CircuLex Human S100B Specifications
| Background: | S-100B is a member of highly homologous Ca2+ binding proteins family that possess two EF-hand motifs. The family of S100 proteins consists of 22 members. Most S100 proteins exist as dimers (frequently homodimers) within cells. Exclusively expressed in vertebrates, S100 is implicated in various intracellular and extracellular regulatory activities. Studies indicate that S100 proteins are involved in the inhibition of protein phosphorylation, inhibition of cytoskeletal constituent assembly, regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis, stimulation of enzyme activities, and interaction with transcription factors. S100B is abundant in the nervous system where it is predominantly expressed in astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. When secreted by astrocytes, S100B has neurotrophic effects during development and nerve regeneration at physiologic (nanomolar) concentrations. However high (micromolar) concentrations of S100B have shown to be neurotoxic, participating in the physiology of neurodegenerative disorders. The clinical values have been demonstrated in stroke, cerebral complications association with cardiac arrest and in patients with severe as well as minor head injury. Patients with progressive melanoma disease also show elevated serum concentrations of S100B. |
