S100A9 Protein is an acidic protein. S100A9 Protein activates pro-inflammatory signaling pathways by binding to TLR4/MD2 and RAGE receptors, regulating transcription factors such as NF-κB, CREB-1, STAT3/STAT5, etc. S100A9 Protein forms a heterodimer (calprotectin) with S100A8. S100A9 Protein enhances cytokine secretion under inflammatory stimulation, promotes immune cell migration, regulates vascular endothelial permeability, induces tumor cell apoptosis, and exerts antibacterial effects through metal ion chelation.

Description

S100A9 Protein is an acidic protein. S100A9 Protein activates pro-inflammatory signaling pathways by binding to TLR4/MD2 and RAGE receptors, regulating transcription factors such as NF-κB, CREB-1, STAT3/STAT5, etc. S100A9 Protein forms a heterodimer (calprotectin) with S100A8. S100A9 Protein enhances cytokine secretion under inflammatory stimulation, promotes immune cell migration, regulates vascular endothelial permeability, induces tumor cell apoptosis, and exerts antibacterial effects through metal ion chelation.

Background

S100A9 protein belongs to the S100 calcium-binding protein family. The members of this family contain EF-hand domains and have calcium-dependent regulatory functions[3][7]. S100A9 protein is an acidic protein expressed by myeloid cells such as monocytes and neutrophils. It often forms a heterodimer with S100A8 (calprotectin) and participates in inflammation, immunity and host defense processes[1][2][5]. S100A9 Protein activates pro-inflammatory signaling pathways by binding to TLR4/MD2 and RAGE receptors, regulates transcription factors such as NF-κB, CREB-1, STAT3/STAT5, and affects the secretion of cytokines (such as IL-8); regulates cytoskeleton reorganization by interacting with tubulin, and promotes transendothelial migration of phagocytes; and can also exert antibacterial activity or induce tumor cell apoptosis by chelating zinc ions[1][4][5][6][7]. S100A9 Protein is mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of neutrophils and monocytes. It can be secreted outside the cells under inflammatory conditions and enriched on the surface of endothelial cells and in body fluids at the site of inflammation[1][5][7]. S100A9 Protein, Human is highly conserved in amino acid sequence and function with its homologous proteins in other species such as mice. Both proteins mediate biological effects through calcium/zinc ion-dependent conformational changes, but some regulatory sites (such as the lack of Thr113 phosphorylation site in mouse S100A9) differ[4][7]. S100A9 Protein, Human consists of 119 amino acids with a molecular weight of approximately 14 kDa. It contains two EF-hand calcium-binding domains and can form homodimers or heterodimers with S100A8. Its activity depends on the cooperative binding of calcium/zinc ions and phosphorylation modification by kinases such as p38 MAPK[1][4][7]. S100A9 Protein, Human Enhances cytokine secretion under inflammatory stimulation, promotes immune cell migration, regulates vascular endothelial permeability, induces tumor cell apoptosis, and exerts antibacterial effects through metal ion chelation[1][5][6][7].

In Vitro

S100A9 Protein, Human (10 μg/mL; 30 min) can enhance fMLP- or GM-CSF-stimulated IL-8 production by activating transcription factors such as NF-κB and CREB-1[1].
S100A9 Protein, Human (1.25-10 μM; 1-4 d) induces apoptosis in MM46 mouse breast cancer cells[6].
