Few cases of melanomas, endometrial, ovarian, stomach and urothelial cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or mostly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
S100A3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
S100E
Description
S100 calcium binding protein A3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a wide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which are located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21. This protein has the highest content of cysteines of all S100 proteins, has a high affinity for Zinc, and is highly expressed in human hair cuticle. The precise function of this protein is unknown.
