Summary
[Homo sapiens] S100A9 is an intracellular calcium-binding protein that promotes neutrophil/monocyte recruitment at inflamed tissues by enhancing attachment to endothelial cells.
[Homo sapiens] S100A9 is a myeloid-related protein that rapidly modulates macrophage nitric oxide production during innate immune response.
[Homo sapiens] S100A9 (calgranulin B) and S100A8 (calgranulin A) form an antimicrobial heterodimeric complex known as calprotectin. Bacterial flagellin induces the upregulation of S100A9/S100A8 heterodimer via a TLR5-dependent mechanism in epidermal keratinocytes.
[Homo sapiens] S100A9 forms a complex with S100A8 and the complex is the site of interplay between extracellular Ca(2+) entry and intra-phagosomal reactive oxygen species production. S100A8 :: S100A9 acts as Ca(2+) sensor in phagosomal ROS production.
[Homo sapiens] S100A9-deficient murine neutrophils exhibited a reduce secretion of cytokines in response to TLR4 stimulation. In contrast, S100A9-deficient dendritic cells showed an exacerbated release of cytokines after TLR stimulation. S100A9 has no effect on the inflammatory status of macrophages. (Demonstrated in murine model)
[Homo sapiens] S100A9 is strongly upregulated in neutrophils upon bacterial infection, and sequesters zinc as a mechanism of nutritional immunity. Salmonella typhimurium overcomes this defence mechanism by expressing a high affinity zinc transporter. (Demonstrated in mice)
[Homo sapiens] S100A9 forms a heterodimer with S100A8 and is a key player in protective innate immunity during Klebsiella pneumonia infection.
[Homo sapiens] S100A8::S100A9 heterodimer sequesters Mn(2+) and Zn(2+) to starve bacteria of these essential nutrients.
[Mus musculus] S100a9 forms a complex with S100a8 and the complex is the site of interplay between extracellular Ca(2+) entry and intra-phagosomal reactive oxygen species production. S100a8 :: S100a9 acts as Ca(2+) sensor in phagosomal ROS production.
[Mus musculus] S100a9-deficient murine neutrophils exhibited a reduce secretion of cytokines in response to Tlr4 stimulation. In contrast, S100a9-deficient dendritic cells showed an exacerbated release of cytokines after TLR stimulation. S100a9 has no effect on the inflammatory status of macrophages.
[Mus musculus] S100a9 is strongly upregulated in neutrophils upon bacterial infection, and sequesters zinc as a mechanism of nutritional immunity. Salmonella typhimurium overcomes this defence mechanism by expressing a high affinity zinc transporter.
[Mus musculus] S100A9 forms a heterodimer with S100A8 and is a key player in protective innate immunity during Klebsiella pneumonia infection.
[Mus musculus] S100a8/S100a9 are proinflammatory proteins that activate natural killer cells via Ager signalling.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000163220:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a wide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which are located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21. This protein may function in the inhibition of casein kinase and altered expression of this protein is associated with the disease cystic fibrosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
