MeSH Heading: Annexins
Tree Number(s): D12.776.157.125.050
Unique ID: D017302
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017302
Scope Note: Family of calcium- and phospholipid-binding proteins which are structurally related and exhibit immunological cross-reactivity. Each member contains four homologous 70-kDa repeats. The annexins are differentially distributed in vertebrate tissues (and lower eukaryotes) and appear to be involved in MEMBRANE FUSION and SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION.
Entry Term(s): Annexin; Annexin A11; Annexin A8; Annexin B10; Annexin B9; Annexin IX; Annexin VIII; Annexin X; Annexin XI; Calcimedin; Calcimedins; Calelectrin; Calelectrins; Calpactin; Calpactins; Chromobindins; Lipocortin; Lipocortins
