  • a relatively short N-terminal tail domain able to undergo Ca(2+)-independent membrane-binding, and having different roles in the H+- and Ca2+-mediated membrane bridging mechanisms, with S100A10 binding motif is located in the first 12 AAs of the N-terminal domain, but conflicting reports exist as to the importance of N-terminal ANXA2 acetylation with regard to S100A10 binding
  • a C terminal "core" region made of four repeats homolog to the endonexin fold

  • in the lamina beneath the plasma membrane
  • S100A10 and ANXA2 were also found to localize in the nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • phospholipase A2 inhibitor, involved in an H+-mediated mechanism leading to a novel AnxA2-membrane complex structure
  • playing a role in the regulation of cellular growth and in signal transduction
  • functioning as an autocrine factor which heighten osteoclast formation and bone resorption
  • regulating the production and autoproteolysis of plasmin at the cell surface (prossessing an intrinsic plasmin reductase activity)
  • stimulating both the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts precursors through production of GM-CSF(granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) and TNFSF11 respectively
  • annexin A2 and SNAP23 are involved in the same pathway in the regulation of lung surfactant secretion
  • able to bridge membranes either as a dimer or as a monomer, respectively
  • regulate F10 signaling specifically in the absence of cell surface tissue factor and may thus play physiological or pathological roles when factor Xa is generated in a tissue factor-depleted environment
  • plays an essential role inMultidrug resistance-induced tumor invasion
  • calcium-dependent phospholipid binding protein has been implicated in VEGF-mediated retinal neovascularization and is upregulated by VEGF in choroid retinal endothelial cells
  • its expression in osteoblasts is under the control of VEGF, which may have implications for both angiogenesis and bone mineralization under low oxygen conditions
  • regulates endothelial morphogenesis through an adherens junction-mediated pathway upstream of AKT1
  • plays an important role in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) localization to the endosteal/osteoblastic marrow niche
  • may serves as an anchor for CXCL12 to help in the localization of HSCs to the niche
  • participate in processes localized to the cell surface including extracellular protease regulation and cell-cell interactions
  • is a critical regulator in infection-initiated inflammation, which protects the host from excessive inflammatory damage

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
  • S100A10/ANXA2/HLTF pathway mediates both neurogenic and behavioral responses to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
  • a component
  • tetramer of 2 light chains (p10 proteins) and 2 heavy chains (p36 proteins)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding, other,
  • calcium Ca2+ (2 ions with high affinity)
  • phospholipid
  • beta(2)GPI
  • protein
  • binds negatively charged phospholipid membranes through either Ca2+-dependent or Ca2+-independent/H+-dependent mechanisms
  • 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
  • HLTF, chromatin-remodeling factor, is a target for the S100A10/ANXA2 heterotetrameric complex
  • ANXA2 is a well-characterized binding partner for S100A10
  • S100A10/ANXA2 not only increases the DNA-binding affinity of HLTF but also anchors HLTF to the nuclear matrix presumably via the interaction of ANXA2 with actin and PIP2
  • PLG stimulates airway smooth muscle (ASM) cytokine production in a manner regulated by ANXA2
  • ANXA2-S100A10 molecular bridge participates in cell-cell interactions, revealing a hitherto unexplored function of this protein interaction
  • is a lipid raft-associated trafficking factor for SLC12A1
  • plausible new role of ANXA2 in the reduction of PCSK9 protein levels via a translational mechanism
  • S100A10, and not ANXA2, is the primary plasminogen receptor within the ANXA2-S100A10 complex and contributes to the plasmin-mediated effects that were originally ascribed to ANXA2b
  • ANXA2 is an autophagy modulator that regulates autophagosome formation by enabling appropriate ATG9A trafficking from endosomes to autophagosomes via actin
  • ANXA2 directly exerted negative regulation of inflammatory responses through TLR4-initiated TICAM2-TICAM1 pathway occurring on endosomes
  • novel molecular connection between PODXL and ANXA2: both exert pro-survival effects in neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPs), and PODXL positively regulates ANXA2 expression through the MAPK pathway
  • KRT8 binds to ANXA2, a protein known to mediate apoptosis as well as the redox pathway
  • TRIM65 has an essential oncogenic role via ubiquitination of ANXA2 in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) pathogenesis
  • NUDT21 plays a crucial role in bladder cancer progression, at least in part through ANXA2 and LIMK2 which act by alternative polyadenylation
  • cell & other
  • mediating the binding of beta(2) GPI to endothelial cells
