Anti-s-100 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:IHC100)-Ready to Use

S-100 is a low-molecular weight protein that is found in Schwann cells, melanocytes, glial cells, histiocytes, lipocytes, skeletal and cardiac muscle, chondrocytes, adipocytes, myoepithelial cells, macrophages, Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, and keratinocytes. S-100 is a useful marker for Schwann cell-derived tumors, as well as a number of well-differentiated tumors of the salivary gland, adipose and cartilaginous tissue. Anti-S-100 is used to detect melanomas, histiocytosis X, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and clear cell sarcomas. Protein function: Probably acts as a Ca(2+) signal transducer (PubMed:22399290). In response to an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) levels, binds calcium which triggers a conformational change (PubMed:23351007). This conformational change allows interaction of S1001A with specific target proteins, such as TPR-containing proteins, and the modulation of their activity (PubMed:22399290). [The UniProt Consortium]
