| Tissue Specificity | Calprotectin (S100A8/9) is predominantly expressed in myeloid cells. Except for inflammatory conditions, the expression is restricted to a specific stage of myeloid differentiation since both proteins are expressed in circulating neutrophils and monocytes but are absent in normal tissue macrophages and lymphocytes. Under chronic inflammatory conditions, such as psoriasis and malignant disorders, also expressed in the epidermis. Found in high concentrations at local sites of inflammation or in the serum of patients with inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid, cystic fibrosis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, giant cell arteritis, cystic fibrosis, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and progressive systemic sclerosis. Involved in the formation and deposition of amyloids in the aging prostate known as corpora amylacea inclusions. Strongly up-regulated in many tumors, including gastric, esophageal, colon, pancreatic, bladder, ovarian, thyroid, breast and skin cancers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15598812, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3313057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3405210, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8423249, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9083090}. |

| Subcellular location [CC] | Secreted. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15598812, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8423249}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22489132, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9083090}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18786929}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305|PubMed:18786929}. Note=Predominantly localized in the cytoplasm. Upon elevation of the intracellular calcium level, translocated from the cytoplasm to the cytoskeleton and the cell membrane (PubMed:18786929). Upon neutrophil activation or endothelial adhesion of monocytes, is secreted via a microtubule-mediated, alternative pathway (PubMed:15598812). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15598812, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18786929}. |
