SYNONYMS
ANX3, ANXA3, Annexin-III, Lipocortin-3, Lipocortin-III, Annexin-3, Annexin A3, Placental anticoagulant protein III, PAP-III, 35-alpha calcimedin, Inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate 2-phosphohydrolase.
INTRODUCTION
ANXA3 is an inhibitor of phospholipase A2. ANXA3 possesses anti-coagulant properties. ANXA3 cleaves the cyclic bond of inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate to form inositol 1-phosphate. ANXA3 is part of the annexin family which are members of the calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein family that are involved in the regulation of cellular growth and in signal transduction pathways. ANXA3 takes part as an anti-coagulation factor.
DESCRIPTION
ANXA3 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 323 amino acids (1-323 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 36.3 kDa. ANXA3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
