S100 protein is a nervous-system-specific cytoplasmic protein which is also present in human malignant melanoma cell lines. Detection and measurement of S100 protein may help distinguish poorly differentiated amelanotic malignant melanoma from tumours of obscure histological origin , they may also aid the detection of micrometastatic disease in the lymph nodes and other tissues of melanoma patients.

Selenium, an essential mineral that the body requires in trace amounts, is an antioxidant building block. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals in the body, reducing or preventing damage to cell membranes and DNA. Selenium also helps regulate thyroid function and plays a role in the proper functioning of the immune system.

Serum protein electrophoresis is a laboratory test that examines specific proteins in the blood called globulins. Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique in which the blood serum is placed into a gel, or into liquid in a capillary tube, and exposed to an electric current to separate the serum protein components into five major fractions by size and electrical charge: serum albumin, alpha-1 globulins, alpha-2 globulins, beta globulins, and gamma globulins.

This test measures the level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) in your blood. SHBG is a protein made by your liver. It binds tightly to three sex hormones found in both men and women: estrogen , dihydrotestosterone, or DHT and testosterone. SHBG carries these three hormones throughout your blood.
