Anti-Annexin IV

Annexin IV, also known as placental anticoagulant protein II, or zymogen granule membrane-associated protein, 36-KD(ZAP36), is one of the family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins whose normal function is uncertain. Annexin IV has 45 to 59% identity with other members of the annexin family. Annexin IV gene spans 18 to 56 kb. And it is located on mouse chromosome 6 in a region of conserved synteny with human chromosome 2. Rat annexin IV is ubiquitously expressed in epithelial tissues. Zap36 associated with zymogen granule membranes in dog and rat pancreas. Human annexin IV gene is mapped to chromosome 2p13. Protein function: Calcium/phospholipid-binding protein which promotes membrane fusion and is involved in exocytosis. [The UniProt Consortium]
