PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	two calcium binding domains with an EF-hand motif
	one S100 specific N-terminus
	one classical C-terminus
	ICaBP type calcium binding domain

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

S100 family of EF-hand, calcium-binding proteins

CATEGORY

signaling cytokine , receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nuclear envelope,ext
text	in primary human endothelial cells, S100A6 was present in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	may be playing a role in stimulation of Ca2+-dependent insulin release,stimulation of prolactin secretion and exocytosis
	growth-regulated gene inducible by growth factors, having a functional role in tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced myocyte apoptosis
	linked with cell cycle progression, cytoskeleton rearrangement, exocytosis, and cell survival
	may be involved in cell proliferation, cytoskeletal dynamics and tumorigenesis
	regulates a spectrum of growth and differentiation properties in cardiac muscle, in keeping with its role in cell cycle progression in proliferating cell lineages
	involvement of this protein in intra- and extra-cellular signalling pathways in the umbilical cord
	small EF-hand calcium- and zinc-binding protein involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and cytoskeletal dynamics
	has an important role in regulating endothelial commitment to, and progression through, the cell cycle

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell cycle

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

component of the pro-survival pathway activated by TNF- alpha and provides a homeostatic mechanism to limit TNF-alpha-induced myocyte apoptosis by interfering with TP53 phosphorylation

a component

constituent of epidermal differentiation complex

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	Ca2+

protein	increase in intracellular concentration of Ca(2+), transduced by S100A6, is necessary for nuclear translocation of the SUGT1 protein
	with S100A2, S100A4 and S100A1, interacting with MDM2, making the binding to MDM2 a general feature of S100 proteins
	S100A6-SUGT1 dephosphorylation promotes its nuclear translocation, most likely due to disruption of the SUGT1-HSP90AA1 complex
	S100A1, S100A2, S100A6, and S100B proteins specifically interact with PPP5C-tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain
