Function

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.

Activity summary

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.

Biological function summary

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.

Pathways

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

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.

    IHC image of S100 beta staining in a section of frozen normal human cerebral cortex performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with Anti-Synaptophysin antibody [SP11] ab16659, 1/5000 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

    We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
    Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.
