Calprotectin
A heterodimeric or heterotetrameric protein complex comprised of protein S100A8 and protein S100A9. This complex is expressed in the cytosol of neutrophils and macrophages and plays a role in multiple host defense related processes including immunomodulation, neutrophil chemotaxis and both antibacterial and antifungal responses.
