We evaluated the intracellular and extracellular biological role of S100B protein with respect
to microglia. S100B, which belongs to the multigenic family of Ca2+‐binding proteins, is …

The astrocytic protein S100B stimulates neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival during CNS
development. S100B can also stimulate glial activation, leading to induction of pro …

The astrocyte-derived protein S100B stimulates production of inducible nitric oxide synthase
and nitric oxide (NO) in astrocytes [Hu et al., 1996, J. Biol. Chem. 271: 2543], but its effect on …

S100B is a calcium‐binding peptide produced mainly by astrocytes that exert paracrine and
autocrine effects on neurons and glia. Some knowledge has been acquired from in vitro and …

In recent years there has been a proliferation of interest in the brain‐specific protein S100B,
its many physiologic roles, and its behaviour in various neuropathologic conditions. Since …

S100B is a calcium binding protein expressed and secreted by astrocytes. Extracellular
S100B stimulates the proliferation of astroglial cells and the survival of neurons …

The glial‐derived neurotrophic protein S100β has been implicated in the development and
maintenance of the nervous system. S100β has also been postulated to play a role in …

J. Neurochem.(2012) 120, 644–659. Abstract S100B is a calcium‐binding protein
concentrated in glial cells, although it has also been detected in definite extra‐neural cell …

S100B is a calcium-binding protein mainly expressed by astrocytes, but also localized in
other definite neural and extra-neural cell types. While its presence in biological fluids is …

Available data are conflicting as regards the occurrence of Ca2+ and Zn2+ binding S100
proteins in neurons of mammalian brain. Here the localization and expression of S100 was …
