[[Annexin|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 V''' is the most abundant scaffolding protein. '''Annexin E1''' (AnE1) is associated with tubulin in trophozoites of ''Giardia lamblia'' and forms local slubs in the flagella. | [[Annexin|Annexins]] are proteins which make a membrane scaffold.
