NCIt synonyms : S100A7c; S100 Calcium-Binding Protein A7 (Psoriasin 1) Gene; S100 Calcium Binding Protein A7 wt Allele; S100 Calcium Binding Protein A7 (Psoriasin 1) Gene; PSOR1;
NCIt definition : Human S100A7 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q21.3 and is approximately
3 kb in length. This allele, which encodes protein S100-A7, plays a role in calcium
binding, epidermal development and antimicrobial activity. Aberrant overexpression
is associated with hyperproliferative skin diseases and mutations in the gene may
be associated with melanoma and T-cell lymphoma.;
