Preparation and Storage

Background: Annexin A4

Annexin A4 (ANXA4), also known as Lipocortin IV, placental anticoagulant protein II and zymogen granule membrane-associated protein, 36 kDa (ZAP36), is a 321 amino acid, 36 kDa member of the Annexin protein family. Annexins are a family of Calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that are preferentially located on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The Annexin’s have a molecular weight of approximately 35 to 40 kDa and consist of a unique amino terminal domain followed by a homologous C-terminal core domain containing the calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding sites. The C terminal domain is comprised of four 60‑70 amino acid repeats, known as annexin repeats or an endonexin fold (Annexin A6 contains 8 annexin repeats). The four annexin repeats form a highly alpha -helical, tightly packed disc known as the annexin domain, which binds to phospholipids in the membrane in a calcium-dependent manner. Members of the annexin family play a role in cytoskeletal interactions, phospholipase inhibition, regulation of cellular growth, and intracellular signal transduction pathways. Human Annexin A4 shares 92% identity with mouse and rat Annexin A4.
