Function
Annexins are proteins which make a membrane scaffold. They bind negatively charged phospholipids and contain a 70 amino acid long annexin repeat. Annexins divide into species and are numbered from I to XII. Annexin V is the most abundant scaffolding protein. Annexin E1 (AnE1) is associated with tubulin in trophozoites of Giardia lamblia and forms local slubs in the flagella. In the annexin image calcium ions are shown as green balls.
Structural highlights
Annexins consist of 2 domains - the C-terminal core and the N-terminal head.
