Descriptor calgranulina A
Scope note: Miembro de 10,8 kDa de la familia de proteínas de unión al calcio S-100, que puede formar homo o heterocomplejos con la CALGRANULINA B y una variedad de otras proteínas. El heterodímero calgranulina A/B se conoce con la denominación de COMPLEJO DE ANTÍGENO L1 LEUCOCITARIO. La calgranulina A se encuentra en muchos tipos celulares, como GRANULOCITOS, QUERATINOCITOS y mielomonocitos y se ha demostrado que actúa como sustancia quimiotáctica para los NEUTRÓFILOS. Por estar presente en la inflamación aguda y ausente en la inflamación crónica, es un marcador biológico útil de numerosos procesos patológicos.

Scope note: A 10.8-kDa member of the S-100 family of calcium-binding proteins that can form homo- or heterocomplexes with CALGRANULIN B and a variety of other proteins. The calgranulin A/B heterodimer is known as LEUKOCYTE L1 ANTIGEN COMPLEX. Calgranulin A is found in many cell types including GRANULOCYTES; KERATINOCYTES; and myelomonocytes, and has been shown to act as a chemotactic substance for NEUTROPHILS. Because it is present in acute inflammation but absent in chronic inflammation, it is a useful biological marker for a number of pathological conditions.
