|
| Function |
Calcium-binding protein that may play a role in the adhesion of neutrophils to fibronectin. May play a role in the formation of focal adhesions.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic granule membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Primarily cytosolic in the absence of calcium or magnesium ions. Relocates to granules and other membranes in response to elevated calcium and magnesium levels.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Detected in neutrophils and macrophages (at protein level). Highly expressed in bone marrow. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1737748}.
