The S100 protein family: history, function, and expression

DB Zimmer, EH Cornwall, A Landar, W Song - Brain research bulletin, 1995 - Elsevier
The S100 family of calcium binding proteins contains approximately 16 members each of
which exhibits a unique pattern of tissue/cell type specific expression. Although the
distribution of these proteins is not restricted to the nervous system, the implication of several
members of this family in nervous system development, function, and disease has sparked
new interest in these proteins. We now know that the original two members of this family,
S100A1 and S100B, can regulate a diverse group of cellular functions including cell—cell …
