Myeloid Differentiation Protein 33

Myeloid Differentiation Protein 33, also known as MRP-14 or S100A9, is a protein involved in the immune system, particularly in inflammation and immune cell regulation. It plays a role in the development and activation of certain white blood cells, helping the body respond to infections or injury. MDP-33 works by signaling immune cells and can influence inflammatory processes, which are vital for healing but can also contribute to chronic inflammatory diseases if unregulated. It’s a key part of the body's mechanism for managing immune responses and maintaining immune system balance.
