Human S100A4 peptide (DAG-P1957) This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. PRODUCT INFORMATION Antigen Description 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 motility, invasion, and tubulin polymerization. Chromosomal rearrangements and altered expression of this gene have been implicated in tumor metastasis. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Specificity Ubiquitously expressed. Nature Synthetic Expression System N/A Conjugate Unconjugated Sequence Similarities Belongs to the S-100 family.Contains 2 EF-hand domains. Procedure None Format Liquid Preservative None Storage Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze / thaw cycles. Information available upon request.

Absence of S100A4 in the Mouse Lens Induces an Aberrant Retina-Specific Differentiation Program and Cataract
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Absence of S100A4 in the mouse lens induces an aberrant retina‑specifc diferentiation program and cataract Rupalatha Maddala1*, Junyuan Gao2, Richard T. Mathias2, Tylor R. Lewis1, Vadim Y. Arshavsky1,3, Adriana Levine4, Jonathan M. Backer4,5, Anne R. Bresnick4 & Ponugoti V. Rao1,3* S100A4, a member of the S100 family of multifunctional calcium‑binding proteins, participates in several physiological and pathological processes. In this study, we demonstrate that S100A4 expression is robustly induced in diferentiating fber cells of the ocular lens and that S100A4 (−/−) knockout mice develop late‑onset cortical cataracts. Transcriptome profling of lenses from S100A4 (−/−) mice revealed a robust increase in the expression of multiple photoreceptor‑ and Müller glia‑specifc genes, as well as the olfactory sensory neuron‑specifc gene, S100A5. This aberrant transcriptional profle is characterized by corresponding increases in the levels of proteins encoded by the aberrantly upregulated genes. Ingenuity pathway network and curated pathway analyses of diferentially expressed genes in S100A4 (−/−) lenses identifed Crx and Nrl transcription factors as the most signifcant upstream regulators, and revealed that many of the upregulated genes possess promoters containing a high‑density of CpG islands bearing trimethylation marks at histone H3K27 and/or H3K4, respectively. In support of this fnding, we further documented that S100A4 (−/−) knockout lenses have altered levels of trimethylated H3K27 and H3K4. Taken together,

Background: Ferritin plays a key role in the development of prostate cancer (PCa). Our earlier studies showed that the knockdown of ferritin heavy chain (FTH) suppressed the migration and invasion of the prostate cancer cell line (PC3). However, the mechanisms behind FTH in the cell migration regulation of PCa have not been thoroughly investigated. Methods: Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomics was used to analyze the protein expression in PC3 cells with FTH knockdown by small interfering RNAs and negative control cells.
