Annexin

Function

Annexins are proteins which make a membrane scaffold. They bind negatively charged phospholipids and contain a 70 amino acid long annexin repeat. Annexins divide into species and are numbered from I to XII.

Annexin I is involved in a variety of pathways^[1].
Annexin II is involved in angiogenesis, tutor progression and metastasis^[2]. See also Ezetimibe.
Annexin V is the most abundant scaffolding protein.
Annexin VI is involved in endocytosis and regulates entry of ligands to prelysosomal compartment^[3].
Annexin VIII is calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding involved in blood coagulation^[4].
Annexin E1 (AnE1) is associated with tubulin in trophozoites of Giardia lamblia and forms local slubs in the flagella.
Annexin A-V has a major role in coagulation.

Relevance

Annexin I is involved in anti-inflammatory responses and apoptotic mechanisms.

Structural highlights

Annexins consist of 2 domains - the C-terminal core and the N-terminal head. The containing . The core domain concave side contains the .^[5]
