Annexin A13 (ANXA13) Antibody – Goat Polyclonal

This gene encodes a member of the annexin family. Members of this calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein family play a role in the regulation of cellular growth and in signal transduction pathways. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it is associated with the plasma membrane of undifferentiated, proliferating endothelial cells and differentiated villus enterocytes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]

ANXA13: a calcium/phospholipid-binding protein associated with the cell membrane. ANXA13 is the probable common ancestor of the annexin family of proteins. Annexins all bind to phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner. There are at least ten different annexins in mammalian species. Annexins do not contain signal peptides, yet some annexins (A1, A2 and A5) appear to be secreted in a physiologically regulated fashion.
