Function

Small zinc- and- and calcium-binding protein that is highly expressed in astrocytes and constitutes one of the most abundant soluble proteins in brain (PubMed:20950652, PubMed:6487634). Weakly binds calcium but binds zinc very tightly-distinct binding sites with different affinities exist for both ions on each monomer (PubMed:20950652, PubMed:6487634). Physiological concentrations of potassium ion antagonize the binding of both divalent cations, especially affecting high-affinity calcium-binding sites (By similarity). Acts as a neurotrophic factor that promotes astrocytosis and axonal proliferation (By similarity). Involved in innervation of thermogenic adipose tissue by acting as an adipocyte-derived neurotrophic factor that promotes sympathetic innervation of adipose tissue (By similarity). Binds to and initiates the activation of STK38 by releasing autoinhibitory intramolecular interactions within the kinase (By similarity). Interaction with AGER after myocardial infarction may play a role in myocyte apoptosis by activating ERK1/2 and p53/TP53 signaling (By similarity). Could assist ATAD3A cytoplasmic processing, preventing aggregation and favoring mitochondrial localization (PubMed:20351179). May mediate calcium-dependent regulation on many physiological processes by interacting with other proteins, such as TPR-containing proteins, and modulating their activity (PubMed:22399290).

Notes

The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify S100B. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.

For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (S100B ELISA Kit ab234573), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:

  • Sandwich ELISA
  • FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
  • Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
  • Bead-based assays
  • AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
  • DELFIA® immunoassays
  • Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
  • Multiplex

Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:

  • Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
  • Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.

We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.

Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.

Please note:

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.

The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.

We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

Activity summary

S100 beta also known as protein S100 is part of the S100 family of proteins characterized by their calcium-binding properties. The S100 beta protein has an approximate molecular mass of 10.7 kDa. This protein is mainly expressed in astrocytes a type of glial cell in the central nervous system. It acts as a marker for astrocytes and is prominently used in astrocyte immunohistochemistry. Additionally it serves as a valuable marker for identifying and studying astrocyte markers because it can highlight the presence of these cells in various contexts.

Biological function summary

The S100 beta protein participates in several intracellular and extracellular activities influencing cell proliferation and differentiation. It forms dimers and sometimes assembles into larger complexes mediated by the binding of calcium ions which alters its functional state. Within the nervous system S100 beta modulates the dynamics between neurons and glial cells affecting processes such as cell survival and neurite outgrowth. This dual role in both supporting and inhibiting various cellular actions highlights its importance in maintaining neural homeostasis.

Pathways

S100 beta engages in signaling pathways related to inflammation and stress responses. It works within the MAPK and NF-kB pathways playing roles in cellular responses to oxidative stress. These pathways involve interactions with other proteins like p53 which S100 beta can modulate to influence apoptosis. The regulatory properties of S100 beta in these pathways link it with broader networks affecting cell fate decisions under pathological and physiological conditions.

Associated diseases and disorders

S100 beta is associated with neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Elevated levels of S100 beta are often found in Alzheimer's disease where it interacts with proteins like amyloid-beta contributing to neuroinflammation and neurotoxicity. In cancer particularly malignant melanoma S100 beta levels serve as a biomarker for tumor progression. Its interactions with p53 and other regulatory proteins highlight its involvement in oncogenic processes emphasizing its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention in these diseases.
