Description | S100A4 is part of the S100 super-family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium binding domains. S100A4 is ubiquitously overexpressed and is localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus. S100A4 is involved in motility, invasion, and tubulin polymerization. Chromosomal rearrangements and altered expression of the S100A4 gene have been implicated in tumor metastasis Synonyms: Protein S100-A4, S100 calcium-binding protein A4, Metastasin, Protein Mts1, Placental calcium-binding protein, Calvasculin, S100A4, CAPL, MTS1, 42A, 18A2, FSP1, P9KA, PEL98 |
