S100P
Description
The S100P (S100 calcium binding protein P) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.
S100P, also known as S100 calcium-binding protein P, is encoded by the S100P gene in humans. It belongs to the S100 protein family, characterized by two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are found in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of various cells and regulate cellular processes like cell cycle progression and differentiation. The S100 gene family includes at least 13 members clustered on chromosome 1q21, except for S100P, which is located on chromosome 4p16. S100P binds to calcium, zinc, and magnesium. It may play a role in prostate cancer development. S100P interacts with EZR and RAGE, and these interactions are disrupted by cromolyn and pentamidine.
S100P is also known as MIG9.
