Phagocyte-specific S100 proteins are released from affected
... Among the factors released by infiltrating neutrophils are DAMP proteins of the S100 family [8]. One example is a complex of two distinct S100 proteins, S100A8 (myeloid-related protein 8, MRP8) and S100A9 (MRP14) [9–11]. In recent years, the MRP8/14 complex has been proposed as a fecal marker of gut ...
