Annexins are Ca 2+ and phospholipid binding proteins forming an evolutionary conserved
multigene family with members of the family being expressed throughout animal and plant …

Eukaryotic cells contain various Ca2+-effector proteins that mediate cellular responses to
changes in intracellular Ca2+ levels. A unique class of these proteins—annexins—can bind …

INTRODUCTION Natural posttranslational modifications (PTMs) to proteins expand the
chemical groups available to proteins. The ability to expand posttranslational functional …

Mammalian skeletal muscle shows an enormous variability in its functional features such as
rate of force production, resistance to fatigue, and energy metabolism, with a wide spectrum …

The importance of cholesterol for endocytosis has been investigated in HEp-2 and other cell
lines by using methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) to selectively extract cholesterol from the …

Since the second messenger role was proposed for the products of inositol phospholipid
hydrolysis, considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the biochemical …

What are lipid bodies? One of the problems in answering this apparently simple question is
that these macromolecular proteolipid assemblies can be relatively heterogeneous with …

Annexins are a well-known multigene family of Ca2+-regulated phospholipid-binding and
membrane-binding proteins. Recent work employing annexin-knockdown or-knockout …

Annexins are a family of structurally related proteins that exhibit Ca2+-dependent binding to
phospholipids. They have been described in many organisms from mammals to molds and …
