[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/S10A6_HUMAN S10A6_HUMAN]] May function as calcium sensor and contribute to cellular calcium signaling (Potential). May function by interacting with other proteins and indirectly play a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and in cell motility. Binds 2 calcium ions. Calcium binding is cooperative.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

S100A6 is a member of the S100 family of Ca(2+) binding proteins, which have come to play an important role in the diagnosis of cancer due to their overexpression in various tumor cells. We have determined the crystal structures of human S100A6 in the Ca(2+)-free and Ca(2+)-bound states to resolutions of 1.15 A and 1.44 A, respectively. Ca(2+) binding is responsible for a dramatic change in the global shape and charge distribution of the S100A6 dimer, leading to the exposure of two symmetrically positioned target binding sites. The results are consistent with S100A6, and most likely other S100 proteins, functioning as Ca(2+) sensors in a way analogous to the prototypical sensors calmodulin and troponin C. The structures have important implications for our understanding of target binding and cooperativity of Ca(2+) binding in the S100 family.
