S100a8 - S100 calcium binding protein A8 Gene

Also Known as Mrp8

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 116547

Summary

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and calcium-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including autocrine signaling; response to ethanol; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of urinary bladder Cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocarditis. Orthologous to human S100A8 (S100 calcium binding protein A8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
