== S100A10 ==

'''S100A10''' (pronounced "S one hundred A ten"), also known as '''p11''', is a protein that in humans is encoded by the S100A10 gene. It is a member of the [[S100 protein]] family, which is characterized by the presence of two [[EF-hand motif]]s.

=== Etymology ===

The name S100A10 is derived from the nature of the protein's solubility (S for soluble) in 100% saturated [[ammonium sulfate]] at neutral pH, and the A10 denotes its specific member number within the S100 protein family.

=== Function ===

S100A10 has a critical role in cellular processes such as [[endocytosis]] and [[exocytosis]], and is involved in the regulation of [[plasminogen]] activation system which has significant implications in pathological processes including [[inflammation]], [[wound healing]], and [[cancer]].

=== Clinical Significance ===

S100A10 has been found to be overexpressed in several types of [[cancer]], including [[breast cancer]], [[ovarian cancer]], and [[pancreatic cancer]]. It is also associated with [[thrombosis]] and [[inflammation]].
