Western blot - Anti-S100A4 antibody [EPR14639(2)] (AB197896)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-S100A4 antibody [EPR14639(2)] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green;loading control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A]) staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab197896 was shown to bind specifically to S100A4. A band was observed at 11 kDa in wild-type HeLa and A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in S100A4 knockout HeLa cell line ab265709 (knockout cell lysate ab257046) and S100A4 knockout A549 cell line ab261865 (knockout cell lysate ab261674). To generate this image, wild-type and S100A4 knockout HeLa and S100A4 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
The role of S100A4 extends beyond mere calcium binding; it associates with the cytoskeleton promoting cell structures related to movement and metastasis. It does not act alone but often partners with proteins like myosin IIA to regulate cytoskeletal dynamics. Additionally S100A4 modulates extracellular matrix components and interacts with signaling pathways that control cancer progression making it significant in both normal physiological contexts and pathological states.
Pathways
Functional activities of S100A4 integrate into important pathways involved in cellular movement and metastasis. S100A4 plays roles in the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway which is pivotal for cell-cell interaction and fate determination. It also interacts with matrix metalloproteinases like MMPs thereby managing processes of tissue invasion and remodeling essential in cancer metastasis. Other pathways influencing cell adhesion and signal transduction may indirectly involve S100A4 through related proteins.
