According to Aristotle,“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” and yet, although a
long time has passed still, we seem to struggle to accept this universal concept. Searching in …

Identification and clearance of apoptotic cells prevents the release of harmful cell contents
thereby suppressing inflammation and autoimmune reactions. Highly conserved annexins …

We investigated the nature of annexin II binding to the biological membranes using a lung
epithelium-derived cell line A549. The cytosolic and membrane fractions of A549 cells were …

On the surface of the macrophage, annexin A2 tetramer (A2t) serves as a docking protein or
recognition element for bacterial and viral pathogens. Plasma levels of free A2t have been …

Annexin A1 is an intracellular calcium/phospholipid-binding protein that is involved in
membrane organization and the regulation of the immune system. It has been attributed an …

Annexins are multifunctional intracellular proteins with Ca2+-and phospholipid-binding
properties. Their structures consist of four conserved repeat domains that form the core and …

Simultaneous discovery of members of the annexin family of calcium and phospholipid
binding proteins by several groups is intimately linked to the possibility that these proteins …

Annexins are a large family of intracellular phospholipid-binding proteins, yet several
extracellular roles have been identified. Specifically, annexin A2, found in a heterotetrameric …

Background Annexin A7 is a Ca 2+-and phospholipid-binding protein expressed as a 47
and 51 kDa isoform, which is thought to be involved in membrane fusion processes …

Background: Human and rodent leukocytes express high levels of the glucocorticoid‐
inducible protein annexin 1 (ANXA1)(previously referred to as lipocortin 1). Neutrophils and …
