Weakly binds calcium but binds zinc very tightly-distinct binding sites with different affinities exist for both ions on each monomer. Physiological concentrations of potassium ion antagonize the binding of both divalent cations, especially affecting high-affinity calcium-binding sites. Binds to and initiates the activation of STK38 by releasing autoinhibitory intramolecular interactions within the kinase. Interaction with AGER after myocardial infarction may play a role in myocyte apoptosis by activating ERK1/2 and p53/TP53 signaling. Could assist ATAD3A cytoplasmic processing, preventing aggregation and favoring mitochondrial localization. May mediate calcium-dependent regulation on many physiological processes by interacting with other proteins, such as TPR-containing proteins, and modulating their activity.

The protein S100 beta also known simply as S100B is a member of the S100 protein family which consists of low-molecular-weight proteins characterized by the presence of two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. It has a mass of approximately 10.7 kDa. S100 beta is abundantly expressed in astrocytes oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells within the central nervous system and is also found in a variety of other tissues. Additionally the protein often serves as a beta marker in these cells and plays a role in regulating intracellular calcium levels and cell proliferation.
The functions of S100 beta involve modulating a range of cellular processes such as the dynamics of cytoskeleton cell growth and differentiation. It does not act alone but often forms homodimers or heterodimers and engages with target proteins influencing their activity. The expression and release of S100 beta can affect neuron growth and survival which makes it notable as one of the astrocyte markers used in immunohistochemistry to study neural tissue and brain injury responses.
Research has shown that S100 beta actively participates in the regulation of important signaling pathways including the ERK and NF-kB pathways. These pathways are involved in various cellular responses like inflammation and cell survival. In its signaling roles S100 beta functions in connection with proteins like the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) helping to transmit extracellular signals into the cell.
S100 beta has become associated with certain neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Elevated levels of S100 beta have been observed in patients with Alzheimer's disease where the protein is believed to influence tau phosphorylation and amyloid-beta formation alongside interactions with proteins like tau. In the context of melanoma S100 beta serves as a marker indicating tumor progression and its interactions with proteins involved in cellular proliferation highlight its role in the disease process.
