The protein encoded by the ANXA5 gene belongs to the annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins some of which have been implicated in membrane-related events along exocytotic and endocytotic pathways. Annexin 5 is a phospholipase A2 and protein kinase C inhibitory protein with calcium channel activity and a potential role in cellular signal transduction, inflammation, growth and differentiation. Annexin 5 has also been described as placental anticoagulant protein I, vascular anticoagulant-alpha, endonexin II, lipocortin V, placental protein 4 and anchorin CII. [RefSeq]

Optimal dilution of the Annexin V antibody should be determined by the researcher.

A synthetic peptide specific to human Annexin V / ANXA5 was used as the immunogen for the Annexin V antibody.

Store the Annexin V antibody at -20oC.
