S100P-Binding Protein

This peptide is the immunogen used to make Cat # X2757P. The function of this binding protein is not fully known. It is known to interact with the S100P and colocalizes with S100P in the nucleus. S100P may stimulate cell proliferation in an autocrine manner via activation of the receptor for activated glycation end products (RAGE). Expressed in brain, spleen, and lung. Not detected in pancreas or liver. In pancreas, expressed predominantly in islet cells and to a lesser extent in acinar cells, but not expressed in ductal cells. Up-regulated in various pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias. Detected in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells (at protein level). Not detected in non-neoplastic ductal epithelium (at protein level).
