S100A6 antibodies detect a small calcium binding protein with 2 EF-hand structures and belongs to the S100 family. Calcium binding induces a conformational change of the protein which in turn permits its interaction with several target proteins. It is predominantly expressed in fibroblasts and epithelial cells and has been implicated in several cellular processes such as cell cycle progression, cytoskeleton rearrangement and exocytosis.

The Hedgehog Signaling Pathway (HSP) is an important pathway involved in embryonic development by regulating cell differentiation. This pathway has also become an increasingly hot topic in cancer research in recent years. The HSP involves the interaction between several targets to activate members of the Gli family of transcription factors, such as Gli1, Gli2, and Gli3.
