“…S100A12 is a member of the S100 family of proteins and is also known as calgranulin C (Wicki et al, 1996). S100A12 has been characterized over recent years because of its distinctive proinflammatory activity (Hofmann et al, 1999) and its role in diagnostics as a biomarker for various inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (van de Logt and Day, 2013), rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis (Foell et al, 2003), glomerulonephritis (Komatsuda et al, 2006), and asthma (Yang et al, 2007). Studies have shown that S100A12 is expressed at very low levels in normal epidermis, but it is highly overexpressed in lesions of psoriasis (Semprini et al, 2002) and UVB-irradiated skin (Kennedy Crispin et al, 2013).…”
