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. Annexin II is involved in angiogenesis, tutor progression and metastasis. 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 A-V has a major role in coagulation. Annexin AII has a major role in fibrinolysis. Annexins bind phospholipids and Ca+2 ions. See also Ezetimibe. 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.
