Anti-ANXA1

Annexin I belongs to a family of Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid binding proteins which have a molecular weight of ~35,000 to 40,000 and are preferentially located on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. Annexin I protein has an apparent relative molecular mass of 40kD, with phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity. Since phospholipase A2 is required for the biosynthesis of the potent mediators of inflammation, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, annexin I may have potential anti-inflammatory activity. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:10,000, Western Blot: 1:500-1:2000, Immunohistochemistry: 1:200-1:1000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
