Recombinant Human Protein S100-A14 (S100A14)

Uniprot Id

Q9HCY8

Target Species

Human

Target Name

S100A14

Target Full Name

Protein S100-A14

Target Function

Modulates P53/TP53 protein levels, and thereby plays a role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. Depending on the context, it can promote cell proliferation or apoptosis. Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration by modulating the levels of MMP2, a matrix protease that is under transcriptional control of P53/TP53. Does not bind calcium.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

S-100 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed at highest levels in colon and at moderate levels in thymus, kidney, liver, small intestine, and lung. Low expression in heart and no expression is seen in brain, skeletal muscle, spleen, placenta and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Target Research Area

Cancer, Signal Transduction

Target Synonyms

BCMP84; Protein S100-A14; S100 calcium binding protein A14; S100 calcium-binding protein A14; S100a14; S100A15; S10AE_HUMAN; S114

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the S100 protein family which contains an EF-hand motif and binds calcium. The gene is located in a cluster of S100 genes on chromosome 1. Levels of the encoded protein have been found to be lower in cancerous tissue and associated with metastasis suggesting a tumor suppressor function (PMID: 19956863, 19351828).
