S100B Protein, Human (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The S100B protein binds calcium and zinc ions, each with a different site on the monomer. Physiological levels of potassium ions disrupt the binding of calcium and zinc, affecting high-affinity sites. S100B Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived S100B protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The S100B protein binds calcium and zinc ions, each with a different site on the monomer. Physiological levels of potassium ions disrupt the binding of calcium and zinc, affecting high-affinity sites. S100B Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived S100B protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

S100B is a protein that plays a role in binding calcium and zinc ions. It has distinct binding sites for each ion on each monomer. Physiological concentrations of potassium ions can interfere with the binding of both calcium and zinc, particularly affecting the high-affinity calcium-binding sites. S100B functions as a neurotrophic factor, promoting astrocytosis and axonal proliferation. It is also involved in the innervation of thermogenic adipose tissue, promoting sympathetic innervation. S100B can activate the STK38 kinase by releasing inhibitory interactions within the kinase. After a myocardial infarction, it interacts with AGER, potentially contributing to myocyte apoptosis through ERK1/2 and p53/TP53 signaling. S100B may assist in the cytoplasmic processing of ATAD3A, preventing aggregation and facilitating mitochondrial localization. It can also modulate the activity of other proteins, such as TPR-containing proteins, through calcium-dependent interactions. S100B forms dimers of either two alpha chains, two beta chains, or one alpha and one beta chain. It interacts with various proteins, including CACYBP, ATAD3A, S100A6, CAPZA1, AGER, PPP5C, TPPP, and isoform CLSTN3beta of CLSTN3, with different functional consequences.

Verified Bioactivity

1. Measured in a cell proliferation assay using THP-1 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.09308 μg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 1.07×104 units/mg.
2. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human AGER at 4 μg/mL can bind Biotinylated Human S100B. The ED50 for this effect is 0.5-2 μg/mL.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
