Conjugation-ready, carrier free format available for antibody clone EP1576Y - ab215989 . Antibody clone EP1576Y is also available pre-conjugated to a variety of labels for your convenience - HRP, Alexa Fluor ® 647, Alexa Fluor ® 594, Alexa Fluor ® 488, Alexa Fluor ® 555, Alexa Fluor ® 568 ( ab195535 , ab196175 , ab307851 , ab310990 , ab313219 , ab313817 ). S100B is a calcium-binding protein widely used in neuro research, particularly for its role as a biomarker in neurological diseases. It is expressed in glial cells and certain neurons and its levels can indicate brain injury and neuroinflammation. Researchers use S100B to assess glial activation and neuronal damage in conditions such as traumatic brain injury, stroke and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's disease). This makes S100B essential for understanding the extent of brain damage and the inflammatory response in various neurological disorders.

Scientific Background

Target data Small zinc- and- and calcium-binding protein that is highly expressed in astrocytes and constitutes one of the most abundant soluble proteins in brain (PubMed : 20950652, PubMed : 6487634). Weakly binds calcium but binds zinc very tightly-distinct binding sites with different affinities exist for both ions on each monomer (PubMed : 20950652, PubMed : 6487634). Physiological concentrations of potassium ion antagonize the binding of both divalent cations, especially affecting high-affinity calcium-binding sites (By similarity). Acts as a neurotrophic factor that promotes astrocytosis and axonal proliferation (By similarity). Involved in innervation of thermogenic adipose tissue by acting as an adipocyte-derived neurotrophic factor that promotes sympathetic innervation of adipose tissue (By similarity). Binds to and initiates the activation of STK38 by releasing autoinhibitory intramolecular interactions within the kinase (By similarity). Interaction with AGER after myocardial infarction may play a role in myocyte apoptosis by activating ERK1/2 and p53/TP53 signaling (By similarity). Could assist ATAD3A cytoplasmic processing, preventing aggregation and favoring mitochondrial localization (PubMed : 20351179). May mediate calcium-dependent regulation on many physiological processes by interacting with other proteins, such as TPR-containing proteins, and modulating their activity (PubMed : 22399290).
