'''S100 proteins''' are calcium-binding proteins (CBP) found in vertebrates and contain 2 helix-loop-helix calcium binding sites. S100 name is derived from their being 100% soluble in ammonium sulfate. There are at least 21 S100 proteins. Most S100 proteins undergo conformational change upon calcium binding<ref>PMID:22834835</ref>.<br /> | '''S100 proteins''' are calcium-binding proteins (CBP) found in vertebrates and contain 2 helix-loop-helix calcium binding sites.
