Annexin
Annexin is a common name for a group of cellular proteins. They are mostly found in eukaryotic organisms. In humans, the annexins are found inside the cell. However some annexins have also been found outside the cellular environment, for example, in blood. How the annexins are transported out of the cell into the blood is a mystery because they lack a signal peptide necessary for proteins to be transported out of the cell. Annexin is also known as lipocortin. Lipocortins suppress phospholipase A2. Increased expression of the gene coding for annexin-1 is one of the mechanisms by which glucocorticoids inhibit inflammation.
