S100A9 is different from other S100 proteins due to its long, very flexible C-terminal -helix extension region ( S100A8 and S100A9 are predominantly expressed in myeloid cells ( S100A8/S100A9 complex plays a prominent role in regulation of inflammatory processes and immune response, including modulation of cell signaling transduction, differentiation, migration, apoptosis, regulation cytoskeleton, and so on ( via S100A9 transport of the cofactor arachidonic acid to the NADPH oxidase complex, and interaction of S100A8 with cytosolic phox proteins facilitating the enzyme assembly (116, 117)
