The metastasis associated protein S100A4: role in tumour progression and metastasis

D M Helfman et al. Br J Cancer. 2005.

Abstract

The metastasis associated protein S100A4 is a small calcium binding protein that is associated with metastatic tumors and appears to be a molecular marker for clinical prognosis. Below we discuss its biochemical properties and possible cellular functions in metastasis including cell motility, invasion, apoptosis, angiogenesis and differentiation.
