Background:  S100A9 is a member of the S100 family of proteins. S100A9, together with S100A8 forms a heterodimeric protein complex, Calprotectin, which is a major calcium- and zinc-binding protein in the cytosol of neutrophils, monocytes, and keratinocytes. Complexes of S100A8 and S100A9 are the physiologically relevant forms of these proteins. S100A9 may function in the inhibition of casein kinase and altered expression of this protein is associated with the disease cystic fibrosis. Its expression and potential cytokine-like function in inflammation and in cancer suggest that S100A8/A9 may play a key role in inflammation-associated cancer.
