S100A6 (S100 calcium binding protein A6) gene encodes an EF-hand calcium binding protein that is a member of the S100 family of proteins. It is also called calcyclin and contains a hydrophobic hinge region that connects the EF-hands. It is expressed in lineage restricted astrocyte precursors and may be useful in analyzing the characteristics of astrocyte precursors. It is also expressed in neural stem cells.

Biochem Physiol Actions: S100A6 (S100 calcium binding protein A6) protein functions in processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation, calcium homeostasis, and neuronal degeneration in the brain. It may act as a buffering protein similar to calbindin. It may function in ubiquitinylated proteolytic degradation and cytoskeletal dynamics. Inhibition of this protein results in a decrease in the production of new astrocytes. S100A6 is involved in the differentiation and maturation of astrocytes.
