Annexins

Annexiner

Svensk definition

En familj kalcium- och fosfolipidbindande proteiner som är strukturellt likartade och visar immunologisk korsreaktion. Annexinerna har differentierad distribution i vävnader hos ryggradsdjur och eukar yoter och tycks vara inblandade i membranfusion och signalöverföring.

Engelsk definition

Family of calcium- and phospholipid-binding proteins which are structurally related and exhibit immunological cross-reactivity. Each member contains four homologous 70-kDa repeats. The annexins are differentially distributed in vertebrate tissues (and lower eukaryotes) and appear to be involved in MEMBRANE FUSION and SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION.
