Recombinant human S100A14 protein

S100A14 is a member of a subfamily of proteins related by EF-hand Ca2+ binding protein superfamily. The extracellular functions of the S-100 family may include the ability to enhance neurite outgrowth, involvement in inflammation, and motility of tumor cells. S100A14 contains 2 EF-hand Ca2+-binding domains, a myristoylation motif, a glycosylation site, and several potential protein kinase phosphorylation sites. It is expressed at high level in the colon and at moderate level in the thymus, kidney, liver, small intestine, and lung. Recombinant human S100A14 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
