We have isolated and characterized a cDNA and the gene of the human homologue of CAAF1, a novel member of the S100 calcium-binding protein family. The 276-bp open reading frame encoded a 92-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 10,575 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence of human CAAF1 showed 66% homology to bovine CAAF1. The human CAAF1 gene consisted of three exons, with the two EF hand motifs of the CAAF1 protein separately encoded by exons 2 and 3. This gene was expressed at a high level in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and at an intermediate level in esophageal mucosa. The tissue distribution of CAAF1 mRNA was different from that of other S100 proteins. Direct R-banding fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that the human CAAF1 gene was mapped to chromosome 1q21.2-q22, where most of the S100 genes form a cluster.

D009418 S100 Proteins A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.
