S100A1
open-in-new
<p>Protein S100-A1, also known as S100 calcium-binding protein A1 is a <a href="/facts/Protein/Jxmagu3E">protein</a> which in humans is encoded by the <i>S100A1</i> <a href="/facts/Gene/e1swwPY6">gene</a>. S100A1 is highly expressed in <a href="/facts/Cardiac_muscle/oMqU4Sdu">cardiac</a> and <a href="/facts/Skeletal_muscle/en1tVYFN">skeletal muscle</a>, and localizes to <a href="/facts/Sarcomere/9jQ5DaTz">Z-discs</a> and <a href="/facts/Sarcoplasmic_reticulum/5tSqPRlk">sarcoplasmic reticulum</a>. S100A1 has shown promise as an effective candidate for <a href="/facts/Gene_therapy/CaxRLfKM">gene therapy</a> to treat post-<a href="/facts/Myocardial_infarction/xoGw0qcG">myocardially infarcted</a> cardiac tissue. </p>
