DescriptionCalprotectin is a heterodimer of calcium binding proteins S100A8 and S100A9.
Calprotectin is almost exclusively expressed in neutrophils and precursors cells
in the bone marrow. Fecal calprotectin levels can be used as a marker for
intestinal inflammation, reflecting the recruitment and activation of
neutrophils to the mucosa. Fecal calprotectin is often used clinically to
diagnose inflammatory bowel diseases and correlate well to other
well-established clinical markers of intestinal inflammation. Fecal homogenates
will be assayed for S100A8/S100A9 heterodimer by ELISA.
