motifs/domains
  • a relatively short N terminus
  • a C terminal "core" region made of four repeats homolog to the endonexin fold
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Anxa8
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • calcium dependent phospholipid binding protein family
  • CATEGORY regulatory , signaling

    basic FUNCTION
  • vascular anticoagulation, indirect inhibitor of the thromboplastin specific complex involved in blood coagulation cascade
  • regulates late endosome organization and function
  • is a gene strongly induced late in osteoclast differentiation and a protein that regulates formation of the cell characteristic actin ring
  • might play an important role in calcium fluctuation-mediated HIF1A transcriptional activation and cell viability
  • controls leukocyte recruitment to activated endothelial cells via cell surface delivery of CD63

    INTERACTION
    DNA

    small molecule metal binding, other,
  • Ca2+
  • phospholipid
  • protein
  • ANXA2, ANXA8, and ANXA9 interacted with proAREG and ADAM17 on the cell surface
  • ANXA2, ANXA8, ANXA9, play an essential role in the ADAM17-mediated ectodomain shedding of EGFR ligands
  • cell & other

    Marker
  • both KRT19 and ANXA8 mRNA may be useful markers for detecting lymph node metastases in OSCC (oral squamous cell carcinoma) patients
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Anxa8 expression in the mouse mammary gland was strong during pre-puberty before the expansion of the rudimentary ductal network and was limited to a distinct subpopulation of ductal luminal epithelial cells
