S100α6 polyclonal antibody

Calcyclin, also known as Prolactin receptor-associated protein (PRA), growth factor-inducible protein 2A9, S-100 calcium-binding protein A6 (S-100A6) or MLN 4, is a homodimeric member of the S-100 calcium-binding protein family whose expression is upregulated in proliferating and differentiating cells. Calcyclin is inducible by growth factors and overexpressed in acute myeloid leukemias. It is expressed in a cell-specific manner in subpopulations of neurons and astrocytes and in epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Calcyclin is a specific target of S-100B protein in vivo. The binding of Calcyclin to S-100B is stabilized by S-100B-bound calcium and zinc. Calcyclin associates with both Annexin XI and CacyBP (calcyclin-binding protein). It functions to activate several processes along the calcium signal transduction pathway including the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, secretion and exocytosis.
