MeSH definition : A 13.2-kDa member of the S-100 family of calcium-binding proteins that can form homo-
or heterocomplexes with CALGRANULIN A and a variety of other proteins. The calgranulin
A/B heterodimer is known as LEUKOCYTE L1 ANTIGEN COMPLEX. Calgranulin B is expressed
at high concentrations in GRANULOCYTES during early monocyte differentiation, and
serum calgranulin B levels are elevated in many inflammatory disorders such as CYSTIC
FIBROSIS.;
