Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The annexin A5 (ANXA5) gene is mapped to human chromosome 4q26-q28 and spans a length of 28kb containing 13 exons and 12 introns. ANXA5 is a member of the annexin family of calcium and membrane-binding proteins that have anti-coagulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. The encoded protein is 320 amino acid long and is folded into four domains, each having five α-helices, forming a superhelical globular structure._x000D_ The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins some of which have been implicated in membrane-related events along exocytotic and endocytotic pathways. Annexin 5 is a phospholipase A2 and protein kinase C inhibitory protein with calcium channel activity and a potential role in cellular signal transduction, inflammation, growth and differentiation. Annexin 5 has also been described as placental anticoagulant protein I, vascular anticoagulant-alpha, endonexin II, lipocortin V, placental protein 4 and anchorin CII. The gene spans 29 kb containing 13 exons, and encodes a single transcript of approximately 1.6 kb and a protein product with a molecular weight of about 35 kDa.

They participate in several cellular functions, such as membrane fusion and cytoskeletal interaction. ANXA5 is a potent anticoagulant and serves as a voltage-gated calcium channel when bound to membrane in vitro. It is found to inhibit phospholipase A2 and protein kinase C._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
