S100A1 Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

S100A1: 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. Dimer of either two alpha chains, or two beta chains, or one alpha and one beta chain. Interacts with AGER and CAPZA1. Interacts with FKBP4. Interacts with RYR1 and RYR2. Highly prevalent in heart. Also found in lesser quantities in skeletal muscle and brain. Belongs to the S-100 family.
