| annexin | <protein> Group of calcium-binding proteins that interact with acidic membrane phospholipids in membranes. They contain 4 or 8 repeats of a 61 amino acid domain that folds into 5 a helices. Also known by several other names (e.g. Lipocortins, endonexins), reflecting the history of their discovery in different contexts. See: lipocortin, endonexin I & II, calpactin, p70 and calelectrin.

|---|---|
| annexin I | Protein of the annexin family exhibiting lipid interaction and steroid-inducibility. (12 Dec 1998) |
| annexin II | Protein (p36) of the annexin family that is a substrate for a tyrosine kinase (oncogene protein pp60(v-src)) and for the cellular protein p11. (12 Dec 1998) |
| annexin III | <enzyme> A protein of the annexin family that catalyses the conversion of 1-d-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate and water to 1-d-myo-inositol 1-phosphate. Chemical name: 1-D-myo-Inositol-1,2-cyclic-phosphate 2-inositolphosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.4.36 (12 Dec 1998) |
| annexin IV | Protein of the annexin family originally isolated from the electric organ of the electric ray torpedo marmorata. It has also been found in a wide range of mammalian tissues. (12 Dec 1998) |
| annexin v | Protein of the annexin family isolated from human placenta and other tissues. Anticoagulant properties have been reported. (12 Dec 1998) |
| annexin vi | Protein of the annexin family with a probable role in exocytotic and endocytotic membrane events. (12 Dec 1998) |
| annexin vii | Protein of the annexin family that promotes the aggregation and fusion of chromaffin granules and can also act as a voltage-dependent calcium channel. (12 Dec 1998) |
