S100A16 Proteins and Enzymes

S100 family proteins are small (10-12 kDa), acidic proteins that are found exclusively in vertebrates. They belong to a highly conserved group of EF-hand calcium-binding molecules that consists of more than 25 members. They are the only EF-hand proteins that form both homodimeric and heterodimeric complexes. Although structurally related, their expression patterns and functions are usually distinct.

S100A16 (also S100F) is a 12 kDa member of the S100 family, EF-hand superfamily of Ca²⁺-binding ...
