S100 calcium-binding protein A12 (S100A12) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the S100A12 gene.[3][4] Human S100A12, also known as calgranulin C, was first described in 1995.[5]

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2

EF-hand
calcium-binding motifs.

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.[6][7]

Tissue distribution

Clinical significance

Its presence is associated with

adhesion molecules such as ICAMs, VCAM or selectins is increased.[10] This protein is proposed to be involved in specific calcium-dependent signal transduction pathways and its regulatory effect on cytoskeletal components may modulate various neutrophil activities.[4]

Cascades that are triggered by interaction of S100A12 with RAGE may play an important role in

SLE patients as a marker of kidney damage in glomerulonephritis.[11][12] 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.[13][14]
