To study their involvement in the malignancy of human colorectal adenocarcinoma, we examined the protein expression levels of S100A6 and S100A4 in the primary colorectal adenocarcinoma (T) and paired adjacent normal colorectal mucosa (N) from 12 cases, quantitatively by Western blot analysis. This evidence concerns the gene S100A6 and colorectal adenocarcinoma.
