ANXA4 belongs to the annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins. Although their functions are still not clearly defined, several members of the annexin family have been implicated in membrane-related events along exocytotic and endocytotic pathways. Isolated from human placenta, this protein has possible interactions with ATP, and has in vitro anticoagulant activity and also inhibits phospholipase A2 activity. ANXA4 is almost exclusively expressed in epithelial cells. Recombinant ANXA4 protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Alternative Names: Annexin A-4 protein, annexin A4 protein, , ZAP36 protein, PIG28 protein, Annexin A 4, Annexin A 4 protein, Annexin A4, ANXA4 protein, Annexin A-4, ANX4 protein
