Recombinant Human S100 Calcium Binding Protein A2

S100A2 belongs to the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100A2 may function as a modulator against excess calcium accumulation in normal human mammary epithelial cells and also have a role in suppressing tumor cell growth. S100A2 may have a tumor suppressor function. S100 family members are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a wide range of cells, and are involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. Chromosomal rearrangements and altered expression of the S100A2 gene are implicated in breast cancer.

Escherichia Coli.

The S100A2 solution (1 mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 5mM DTT, 30% glycerol and 0.2M NaCl.
