摘要: In humans, the S100 protein family is composed of 21 members that exhibit a high degree structural similarity, but are not functionally interchangeable. This proteins modulates cellular responses by functioning both as intracellular Ca(2+) sensors and extracellular factors. Dysregulated expression multiple common feature human cancers, with each type cancer showing unique profile or signature. Emerging in vivo evidence indicates biology most complex multifactorial, these actively contribute to tumorigenic processes such cell proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis immune evasion. Drug discovery efforts have identified leads for inhibiting several members, two inhibitors progressed clinical trials patients cancer. Review highlights new findings regarding role diagnosis treatment, contribution signalling tumour biology, development treating
