S100A12

S100 calcium-binding protein A12 (S100A12) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the S100A12 gene. Human S100A12, also known as calgranulin C, was first described in 1995.

Function
Generally, S100A12 has a significant anti-infectious and antibacterial role that is related to its ability to uptake ions. For example, it inhibits the spread and virulence of H. pylori. == Tissue distribution ==
Tissue distribution
Neutrophils and monocytes / macrophages are important source of S100A12 in the cell although some epithelial cells and dendritic cells are capable of its secretion. Some tissues are rich in these cells, and so in this protein. These include the spleen or lungs. It occurs intracellularly but is also produced into the extracellular environment where it occurs as a homodimer or hexamer. == Clinical significance ==
Clinical significance
Its presence is associated with cardiovascular and kidney diseases. It is also associated with gastrointestinal diseases. In inflammatory bowel diseases, it significantly correlates with disease activity and, together with other 100S family proteins, can predict disease relapse. == References ==
